GIGABYTE Unveils AI TOP Utility for Local AI Applications at CES 2026

A New Era of Local AI Solutions at CES 2026

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues its rapid transition from experimental projects to real-world applications, GIGABYTE showcased an innovative solution called AI TOP Utility during CES 2026. This utility is designed specifically for local AI implementations, ensuring that organizations can effectively manage sensitive data while taking full advantage of AI's capabilities.

At CES, GIGABYTE displayed three different systems within its AI TOP range: the AI TOP ATOM, AI TOP 100, and AI TOP 500. These systems provide scalable pathways for local AI adoption, featuring GIGABYTE's proprietary software, AI TOP Utility, which allows users to create and manage AI workflows using locally stored data.

During the event, the focus was particularly on the augmented generation model running on AI TOP ATOM. Unlike standard configurations that prioritize token generation speed, AI TOP ATOM comes equipped with an impressive 128 GB of unified memory, making it ideal for tasks requiring extensive context processing. This hardware advantage, brilliantly orchestrated by AI TOP Utility, enables users to handle vast datasets that would typically overwhelm traditional multi-GPU setups, demonstrating the potential for high-caliber AI performance within a compact local system.

With AI TOP Utility, enterprises can convert thousands of pages of sensitive research and development documents into a secure, instantly accessible internal knowledge base. This creates a 'private brain' scenario, allowing teams to gain precise operational support without transferring any data off their local servers. By keeping data on-site, users can eliminate the latency associated with cloud services and ditch ongoing subscription costs, translating technical specs into tangible benefits like complete data sovereignty and real-time intelligence.

Bordering on practicality, the AI TOP systems are engineered for seamless workflows in development and deployment environments. The flagship AI TOP 500 TRX50, which can be configured with an AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7965WX, GeForce RTX 5090, and up to 768 GB of DDR5 memory, offers the robust capabilities needed to execute models with up to 405 billion parameters efficiently and securely. Managed via AI TOP Utility, these systems integrate effortlessly into NVIDIA's ecosystem on Linux, allowing AI models to run in compatible environments with minimal constraints.

By favoring localized AI execution, data control, and ease of adoption, GIGABYTE is proving that its AI TOP Utility transforms theoretical AI capabilities into practical tools that can easily mesh into daily workflows. To witness the AI TOP platform live, attendees are encouraged to visit the GIGABYTE Product Showcase at CES 2026, located at Venetian Expo Level 3, Lido 3005.
