About Forefront

What is Forefront?

Forefront is an all-in-one platform that empowers developers and teams to fine-tune, run, and scale open-source AI models using their own data. It combines the flexibility of open-source tooling with the simplicity of modern cloud infrastructure—eliminating the need for complex setup, GPU management, or closed ecosystems.

Your Data. Your Models. Your AI.

Unlike traditional AI platforms, Forefront gives you full control. Build personalized language models, deploy inference endpoints, and optimize for accuracy—all while keeping your data private and models portable.

Core Features of Forefront

Fine-Tuning Open-Source Models

Train leading open-source LLMs like Mistral, Phi-2, and Mixtral with your own datasets. Forefront supports a streamlined fine-tuning process, complete with built-in loss tracking, validation tools, and data visualization.

  • Start with a base model
  • Upload training and validation data
  • Watch your model improve in real time

Built-In Evaluations

Assess model performance automatically with pre-integrated evaluation benchmarks like MMLU, ARC, MT-Bench, and TruthfulQA. Track your model’s accuracy and optimize it with confidence before going live.

Serverless Inference & APIs

Deploy models to production without worrying about infrastructure. Forefront provides serverless, scalable endpoints for chat and completion tasks—just plug in via API and start generating results.

Data Inspector & Warehouse

Store, manage, and visualize all your training and evaluation data in one place. Gain instant insights into token usage, label distributions, and dataset balance to build better models, faster.

Why Forefront?

Own Your AI Stack

Avoid the limitations of closed-source systems. With Forefront, you can fine-tune, export, and even self-host your models—giving you full ownership and portability.

Developer-Friendly API

Use intuitive SDKs and endpoints to integrate AI directly into your apps or workflows. Forefront supports REST APIs and SDKs for JavaScript, Python, and more.

No GPUs Needed

Train and serve models without managing hardware. Forefront abstracts GPU complexities so you can focus on results, not infrastructure.

Scales With You

Whether you're a startup, solo developer, or enterprise, Forefront scales effortlessly with usage. You only pay for what you use—no upfront hardware costs or overprovisioning.

Enterprise-Ready Security

Built for privacy from day one. Forefront never logs your requests or uses your data for training. For larger organizations, it offers secure cloud deployment options.

Use Cases for Forefront

AI Product Development

Startups and developers can build custom chatbots, assistants, or content tools with fine-tuned open-source models that respond better to niche or proprietary data.

Internal Knowledge Tools

Fine-tune models on your business knowledge base, support documents, or customer interactions to create internal Q& A systems or smart copilots.

Research & Prototyping

Researchers and labs can iterate quickly on new model architectures, dataset experiments, or domain-specific AI tools—without being tied to one vendor.

API-Based Automation

Integrate AI into workflows like email summarization, code generation, or data enrichment with Forefront’s scalable API endpoints.
