CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 24, 2026--

Go Abacus, the AI infrastructure purpose-built for regulated industries technology company, today announced the launch of The Go1. The first-of-its-kind physical, on-prem AI hardware solution, The Go1 brings compliance-first organizations like banks and credit unions secure, fast, and fully-owned AI infrastructure in one hardware appliance. With The Go1, organizations that demand security have access to a fixed-price AI solution that can scale to meet any operational need without requiring additional server rooms or data centers.

“The Go1 will do for AI in financial services what the Mac did for personal computers - deliver a user-friendly, right-sized appliance that gives access to the applications transforming what is possible. We are taking the large AI data centers and fractionalizing them to small hardware devices that can serve thousands per appliance,” said David Moscatelli, CEO, Go Abacus. “In 15 minutes, any bank or credit union, with any level of IT team experience can have blazing fast, secure, high-performance local AI support for up to 2,000 users in one machine.”

The all-in-one-box system solution is designed to deliver secure, enterprise-grade AI within an organization's own infrastructure, without the need to send data outside to a third-party, cloud-based AI provider. It directly plugs into existing systems, delivering AI capabilities to thousands of users while maintaining data control and ownership.

Go Abacus’ on-prem AI infrastructure gives banks and credit unions complete data sovereignty, full auditability, and regulatory alignment from day one. Banks that are using Go Abacus’ Go1 on average see 65% faster report processing, a $1.4M reduction in compliance costs, and efficiency gains of 38%. This ROI was achieved with zero public cloud dependency and no possibility of data exposure. Every Go1 box ships with:

• Up to 8x NVIDIA GPUs
• Up to 800 GB/s memory bandwidth
• Fully redundant architecture - dual GPUs, CPUs, SSDs, motherboards, and a redundant power supply for complete resilience
• Up to 2,000 active users per machine
• Speeds of less than 50ms per query
• AI that is ready for every audit - SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 certified from day one
• A fixed pricing model that allows for unlimited usage and tokens

“The Go1 was built to support organizations that have no tolerance for data leaks or errors,” said Jay Eum, Founding Managing Partner of GFT Ventures and Go Abacus Board Member. “In a market that has treated the cloud as the default option for AI, The Go1 offers high-trust institutions on-site hardware for full control over their data to keep pace with the AI revolution.”

Go Abacus will showcase The Go1 at the FinovateSpring 2026 on May 6 at 11:29 a.m. PT on the Demo Stage. To find out more about The Go1, visit our website at goabacus.co/go1.
