QuirinPrivatbank Launches AI Driven “Goldgräber Programm” to Forge Strategic Path into North America
Berlin, 10th October 2025, Germany’s leading private bank, QuirinPrivatbank, has unveiled its new strategic initiative—the “Goldgräber-Programm.” The program, whose name conveys a focused pursuit of new opportunities, marks the bank’s strategic entry into the Canadian and U.S. markets, opening a new chapter in its international growth. Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to be the cornerstone of this expansion, fueling every aspect from market penetration to client service delivery.
A Solid European Foundation for Global Ambitions
Built on the core values of “transparency, independence, and client-centricity,” QuirinPrivatbank has established a robust network across Germany and key European financial hubs. Its expertise in wealth management, asset allocation, and cross-border finance has earned it deep client trust—a solid springboard for its overseas growth.
“Goldgräber-Programm”: Strategic Vision and Objectives
The program represents a strategic evolution for the bank, focused on three key pillars:
- Deepening the North American footprint: Offering cross-border financial services to existing European clients while cultivating new client segments in Canada and the U.S.
- Building a global financial bridge: Enabling North American clients to seamlessly access European capital markets and receive high-quality, tailored financial solutions.
- Cultivating an international team: Establishing a North American representative office and recruiting local experts to work in concert with the European headquarters, ensuring consistent service standards worldwide.
AI at the Core
Unlike traditional expansion models, the “Goldgräber-Programm” is deeply integrated with AI:
- Intelligent Marketing: Utilizing AI-driven data analytics and predictive modeling to precisely identify and engage high-net-worth clients in North America.
- Personalized Services: Deploying intelligent advisory systems to create customized asset allocation plans based on client preferences and risk profiles.
- Risk and Compliance: Implementing real-time AI monitoring and compliance checks to ensure transparent and secure cross-border operations.
- Collaborative Empowerment: Enabling seamless communication and knowledge sharing between European and North American teams via an AIpowered collaboration platform.
North America: A Strategic Imperative
With mature capital markets and a substantial high-net-worth population, Canada and the U.S. represent a critical stage for global financial players. For QuirinPrivatbank, this is not only a high-potential market but also a vital test of its global strategy and operational capability. The bank’s management stated, “North America is central to our global blueprint. Through the ‘Goldgräber-Programm,’ we aim to become the most trusted partner for our clients’ international asset allocation.”
A Phased and Measured Rollout
The program will be executed in three phases:
- Phase 1: Establish a North American representative office, conduct market research and regulatory preparations, and build the AI data platform.
- Phase 2: Recruit local talent and launch AI-powered client service and advisory systems, with an initial focus on wealth management.
- Phase 3: Fully roll out AI-enhanced cross-border financial products to facilitate a two-way flow of resources between European and North American clients.
Throughout this process, QuirinPrivatbank will strengthen collaboration with local financial institutions and regulators to ensure full compliance and operational transparency.
The Future: German Heritage Meets a Global Vision
Known for its prudent stewardship, QuirinPrivatbank remains committed to “independence, transparency, and client-first” principles. The “GoldgräberProgramm” reflects not only its commitment to internationalization but also its innovative fusion of AI with traditional finance.
As management emphasized, “Our goal extends beyond market entry. We are combining the resilience of German banking with the transformative power of AI to deliver smarter, more efficient financial services for clients worldwide.”

AgiBot Has Built an Open-Source Ecosystem Supporting Data Collection and Deployment Across Different Ontology Platforms
China, 11th Oct 2025 – AgiBot officially announced on September 23 that its general embodied base model, GO-1 (Genie Operator-1), had also been open-sourced on GitHub, following the open-sourcing of the AgiBot World embodied intelligence million-real-robot dataset in January this year. It has become the world’s first general embodied intelligence model adopting the Vision-Language-Latent-Action (ViLLA) architecture to be freely available to developers worldwide, which will lower the technical barriers to embodied intelligence and accelerate industry development.
As a significant technological breakthrough in the field of embodied intelligence, the ViLLA architecture adopted by GO-1 successfully bridges the semantic gap between image-text input and robot action execution by introducing implicit action tokens. This architecture employs a three-tier collaborative design:
- the VLM multimodal understanding layer, built on InternVL-2B, processes multimodal information such as multi-view visual images, force feedback signals, and language input, providing the system with superior scene perception and command understanding capabilities.
- the Latent Planner accomplishes high-level understanding and planning of complex tasks by predicting implicit action tokens.
- the Action Expert leverages a diffusion model to generate high-frequency, precise continuous action sequences, ensuring the robot performs delicate operations. Compared to traditional VLA architectures, ViLLA demonstrates improvements in action understanding and execution precision.
Furthermore, AgiBot has developed Genie Studio specifically for embodied intelligence scenarios, serving as a one-stop development platform that provides developers and partners with a full-stack solution. The platform offers comprehensive support throughout the entire process, from data collection and management to model training and fine-tuning, as well as simulation evaluation. The out-of-the-box GO-1 base model integrates a Video Training solution and a unified training framework, featuring a complete built-in development toolchain that enables one-click compilation and deployment on real robots, effectively enhancing development efficiency and accelerating the implementation and application of embodied intelligence technology.
In terms of community collaboration, although GO-1 was pre-trained only on data from the AgiBot G1 robot, it has undergone sufficient validation and testing on various platforms such as Agilex, ARX, and Franka Robotics, demonstrating excellent portability. In simulation environment tests, it has achieved leading performance on mainstream simulation platforms like Genie Sim and Libero. For real-robot deployment scenarios, to meet the diverse platform needs of users, the GO-1 model specifically integrates the universal LeRobot data format, ensuring that even non-Genie ontology robots are able to complete data collection, model fine-tuning, and deployment.
From now on, developers worldwide can access the AgiBot repository on GitHub to download the GO-1 model and embark on their embodied intelligence innovation journey. Whether seasoned AI researchers or industry newcomers, all will benefit from GO-1 for its robust technical support and limitless innovation possibilities
