Forward Intelligence

Specialized models.
Factory scale.

Grid is how products call it. The S Series is what we trained first.

New: Grid. The factory interface for inference and fine-tuning, on an OpenAI-compatible platform.

One factory. Several ways to build.

Forward Intelligence builds and operates AI for enterprise workflows. Grid is the platform for serving named models, opt-in routing and training. The S Series is what we trained first, inside Forlex. Products across industries can use the same platform with their own integrations, controls and acceptance criteria. Built in Latin America.

Grid makes model selection, routing and consumption explicit. You can pin a named model or opt into routing. Dedicated capacity, isolation, residency and service responsibilities are scoped in writing. Enterprise projects start with a process and an agreed result, then define the models and operating scope that fit it.

Grid inference and fine-tuning are by invitation. Custom projects are quoted engagements.

ISO/IEC 42001 and 27001 certification is being pursued. Isolation and residency are scoped in writing.

Forlex as the first vertical

The S Series is our first production reference. LIVIA is a family of specialized legal models running on Grid inside Forlex. In August 2026, the company reported 240,000 monthly active users for Forlex. The reference page identifies the source, the workflow and the controls specific to that legal product.

The differentiator is not only legal training. It is verifiability. OpenDetector screens every input for prompt injection before it reaches the model. OpenJuris checks every output for hallucinations and unsupported citations before it reaches the lawyer. OpenContracts verifies that generated text stays faithful to the source document. Three layers, each auditable. They are how Forlex uses Grid. They are not Grid itself. Grid is the compute, the routing, and the cost model underneath.

Forlex is one vertical, not the company. We built the legal product because that is the market we know, and because it forced the factory to be honest. The next products, ours or a partner's, reuse the same line: high throughput, low latency, predictable cost, and an audit trail a stakeholder can read.

Company origins and operating principles

The company was founded in 2023 in Goiânia, Brazil. Specialized models should run at factory scale, with named routing. The S Series shipped first, for law. Grid is the line those models, and others, run on. Forward Intelligence is the company behind both. The team is small, senior, and cost-effective. We run close to the metal because that is how you keep latency down and unit economics sane.

We are pursuing ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management systems) and ISO/IEC 27001 (information security). We have not claimed the certificates. When they land, they land in writing. We do not sell an open model marketplace. Every model in the catalog earns its place. We do not publish prices we cannot stand behind. We quote by volume when a number is not settled yet. We do not invent a hallucination rate we cannot source.

Current factory and planned sites

In August 2026 we expanded our AWS commitment to US$77 million. Hundreds of NVIDIA B200 GPUs are online. More than 8,000 additional GPUs are planned by year-end. Partners include NVIDIA, AWS, Cloudflare, Linode Rise, and AB2L. We were selected for the AWS Generative AI Accelerator 2025: one of three Brazilian companies in a global cohort of forty. That is the plant we operate today. Grid is the production line.

Grid continues to run on AWS. That is the current plant. We are also developing two expansions: one site in Brazil and one in the United States. The Brazilian site is a 20 MW expansion expected between 2026 Q4 and 2027 Q1. The US site is expected between 2027 Q3 and Q4 and supports 10 MW. In Brazil we expect to deliver 500 MW of power capacity in phases from 2027 to 2029. Those sites are in the pipeline. They are not the factory Grid runs on today. The sites section below labels each status so a pipeline is not read as a live factory.

Access, training and project scope

Grid inference is live, invite-only, on the AWS plant. Fine-tuning is by invitation. Tune it where you serve it. Custom training, the Training API, and managed jobs are the three paths. If you are building a product that has to survive thousands of concurrent requests, and you need the bill and the routing to make sense to an executive, start there. If you want us to design and run a custom project on the factory with you, talk to us. That is a workload on Grid, not a training job and not a site. If you are planning capacity in Brazil or dedicated halls in the United States, talk to us about the sites.

Custom projects

Bring a workload. We will design how it runs on Grid and operate it with you. Quoted. Not a packaged SKU, not a training job, and not a site in the pipeline.

How it works

/sites

Two sites in development

Grid runs today on AWS. That is the current infrastructure. Alongside that plant, Forward Intelligence is developing two expansions: one site in Brazil and one in the United States. They are in the pipeline. They are not commercially live. Status is labeled on each card so a timeline is not read as a contract.

In development

Brazil

First site

Expected between 2026 Q4 and 2027 Q1. Supports 20 MW.

An expansion of the current AWS plant. Expected availability. Not a contracted go-live date. Not in commercial operation.

In development

United States

Dedicated data halls

Expected between 2027 Q3 and Q4. Supports 10 MW.

Expected availability. Not a contracted go-live date. Not in commercial operation.

Phased delivery

500 MW in Brazil

Power capacity in Brazil, expected in phases from 2027 to 2029. This follows the 20 MW Brazilian expansion expected between 2026 Q4 and 2027 Q1, and supports the deployment and operation of AI infrastructure and computing equipment.

Expected delivery. Not commercially live today. Grid inference still runs on the AWS plant. It is not a factory that is already running.
