Release notes

Why GO Clicks

A desktop AI app for people who want control without the fuss.

Privacy

Keep sensitive work close

Prompts, files, and local inference stay on the machine you already trust. Privacy is the starting point, not a premium feature.

Agentic Platform

Orchestrate Autonomous Agency

Transform your hardware into a high-performance agentic hub. Leverage MCP, secure tool-calling, and local sandboxes to build and deploy agents that solve complex, multi-step problems with true autonomy.

GO Mesh

One office, one shared AI workspace

Link multiple GOs on the same network so one strong machine can serve the rest. No server rack, no ops detour, no Linux setup.

Built for a Desk, Not a Server Room

Strong enough for daily work. Light enough to live on your desk.

Backend.AI GO is for developers and power users who want local privacy, useful automation, and an easy path from one machine to many.

Privacy First

Keep your prompts, files, and models nearby.

Run local models on macOS, Windows, or Linux and keep sensitive work on hardware you already know. When cloud models make sense, add them without giving up a local-first flow.

Hardware-aware acceleration across Metal, CUDA, ROCm, MLX, and CPU paths helps each machine do its best work.
Cloud APIs and remote inference servers can join the same workspace instead of sending you into a separate toolchain.
Local and remote models share one interface, so the workflow stays easy to follow.
Default mode
Local first

Agentic Hub

More than a chatbot. An autonomous platform.

GO is the hub where agents live and act. Transform your hardware into a high-performance platform that controls local tools and data directly. It is built for true agency, not just conversation.

Secure local sandboxes let agents run code and edit files without compromising your machine's integrity.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) provides a standardized way for agents to securely access your local context and data.
The same agentic infrastructure works across local models, cloud APIs, and remote backends.
Local tools
20+

One place for models, agents, and the work around them.

Browse models, run agents, watch system activity, and keep the whole workflow in view from one desktop app.

Backend.AI GO chat interface

A chat view that can actually get things done

Move between local and remote models in a conversation space that's already wired into tools, sessions, and model switching.

Beyond a Single Machine

Turn your office into a quiet little AI cluster.

Start on one desktop, then spread the model mix across the room. GO Mesh lets nearby machines share what each one hosts, so the office feels like one broader AI workspace.

Step 1

Connect your GOs

Backend.AI GO instances on the same network can find one another and form a mesh on their own.

Automatic discovery

Step 2

Share models acrossyour GOs

Each GO can host different models and make them available to the others, so you do not need to load every model onto every machine.

Different models, shared across GOs

Step 3

Keep it pleasantly simple

No Linux admin, no server setup, no change in how people work. It just feels like the office got a little more capable.

No extra server setup

Install it in a single line

A tidy setup for macOS developers

Terminal
$brew tap lablup/tap
$brew install --cask backend-ai-go

Requires Homebrew. The cask tracks each stable release.

Backend.AI GO Enterprise

Same GO.Organization-ready.

Talk to us

GO Enterprise keeps the local models, agent workflows, and GO Mesh setup your team already uses. It adds the rollout, control, and support organizations need.

Functionally, it is still Backend.AI GO. Enterprise changes how it is deployed, managed, and supported, not what your team has to relearn. Also available as part of the PALI suite.

Enterprise-ready additions

Air-gapped updates

Secure model and software delivery

Custom-branded builds

Prepared for internal distribution

Organization-wide routing

Shared policies across your deployment
