Intent

I need it when

Use a high-performance AI that ranks competitively on industry benchmarks

GB1's Locai L1 model scores 72.9% on Human Preference Arena (outperforming GPT-5, Gemini, Claude) and 41.5% on instruction following. Users get world-class reasoning and conversational ability without compromising on performance for privacy.

Protect personal data privacy while using an AI assistant

GB1 provides end-to-end encryption, UK data residency, GDPR compliance, and ISO-27001 certification. Conversations are never used to train models or monetized. This allows users to interact with AI without surrendering privacy to Big Tech platforms.

Have a voice in how AI tools evolve and develop

GB1 features community-directed development where users democratically influence future features and roadmap decisions. This gives users agency and accountability in AI governance, unlike closed proprietary systems.

Use AI in languages beyond English, including Celtic languages

GB1's Locai L1 model achieves 74.5% on BritLLM and supports Welsh, Irish, Scottish, and Gaelic. Users in UK regions and Celtic-speaking communities get native language support unavailable in mainstream AI assistants.

Support environmentally sustainable AI infrastructure

GB1 runs on 100% renewable UK-generated energy with lean-by-design models that use less compute than comparable systems. Users reduce their carbon footprint while using AI, aligning with environmental values.
