Ethical, low-power, and on-device: Studio Atelico's vision for the future of generative AI
Studio Atelico is developing its debut game, Bobium Brawlers, using its proprietary on-device generative AI engine, which operates ethically by training on its own artists' work.

The technology prioritizes low power usage and avoids cloud-based fees, with the goal of becoming the 'Epic Games of AI' by creating games and tools that foster a self-reinforcing loop of innovation.
