Allora Labs Launches Forge to Let AI Models Compete, Improve, and Earn on Real-World Predictions

Published

on

The world’s first arena for predictive intelligence, Forge is a live environment where machine learning models compete on real-world problems and improve together, built on the thesis that the future of prediction belongs to a network of models rather than any single one.

NEW YORK, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Allora Labs today launches Forge, the world’s first arena for predictive intelligence: a live environment where AI models compete on real-world problems, improve through that competition, and earn continuously for the predictions they produce.

A network of models, not a single one

Predicting what comes next is one of the oldest pursuits there is. Allora‘s thesis is that its future will not belong to a single dominant AI model but to a network of them, each competing and improving, together forming a collective intelligence that grows more capable as more models join.

Built for developers who want a real test

Forge is built for developers who want to test their models against the best in the world. Models improve fastest under real competition, and on Forge they face it on live problems with real outcomes. A developer brings a model and a predict() function, and Forge runs it live and handles the data, the infrastructure, and the rest, so the work stays on the model rather than the operations around it. Models remain owned by their developers, wherever they run.

Predictions that are already in demand

More than 140 partners across the Allora Network build on the predictions made on Forge, so a model’s work is consumed in production and rewards its developer continuously as the model improves and the network grows.

“We don’t believe the future will be predicted by one model that beats all the others,” said Nick Emmons, CEO of Allora. “It will be predicted by many models competing, each making the others better. Forge is where that happens, and where the engineers building the best prediction models in the world are rewarded for it.”

Availability

Developers can join and deploy their first model directly on Forge.

About Allora Labs

Allora Network is a decentralized AI inference network that harnesses a globally distributed community of machine learning models to produce highly accurate, context-aware predictions in real time.

Built on a modular, topic-based system, Allora orchestrates competing models on shared prediction tasks and continuously evaluates performance under live conditions, synthesizing outputs into a high-confidence aggregated signal.

By treating inference as an open, competitive, and economically aligned process, Allora enables ever-improving AI services that can be embedded directly into operational systems, powering use cases from EV charging optimization to autonomous IoT decisioning.

Graebel Launches Switch, an AI-Powered Virtual Relocation Assistant, for Graebel CitySwitcher®

Published

By

DENVER, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Graebel Companies, Inc., a global leader in workforce mobility and managed services, today announced the launch of Switch, a new AI-powered virtual relocation assistant integrated into Graebel CitySwitcher®, its relocation guidance platform for self-managed moves. This announcement comes on the heels of a recent talent management technology implementation award win for CitySwitcher.

Graebel supports more self-managed moves than any other provider, bringing unmatched experience to the challenges employees face when navigating relocation independently. As more employees receive lump-sum benefits, cash allowances, or manage portions of their relocation themselves, the need for accessible, personalized guidance continues to grow. Switch expands CitySwitcher by helping employees navigate relocation decisions with greater confidence, while providing destination insights and resources tailored to their needs. Together, these capabilities turn a traditionally self-service experience into a more guided experience, while preserving the flexibility preferred by many of today’s mobile employees.

Switch combines Graebel’s global mobility expertise, relocation data, and AI to deliver industry-leading capabilities designed to solve real challenges employees face during self-managed moves. For example, employees relocating to an unfamiliar city often struggle to determine which neighborhoods best fit their needs and lifestyle, creating uncertainty that can delay important relocation decisions. Switch’s neighborhood-matching capability provides personalized recommendations to help employees identify promising areas to explore, giving them greater clarity and confidence as they move forward.

“For the last several years, Graebel has been highly invested in its technology, including CitySwitcher,” said Joey Ham, Global Head of Product at Graebel. “Switch is the latest enhancement to the CitySwitcher platform, combining AI-powered technology with Graebel’s relocation expertise to simplify the relocation experience and ultimately employee outcomes for our clients.”

How Switch Changes the Experience
Designed specifically for relocation, Switch delivers tailored guidance that helps employees evaluate options and turn uncertainty into action with practical recommendations that keep their moves progressing. Switch delivers:

Answers to relocation questions in real time, without searching across multiple sources.Guidance tailored to employees’ destinations and personal circumstances.Option comparisons and tradeoffs when making relocation decisions.Relevant resources, services, and next steps based on where employees are in their moves.

Benefits for Mobility Teams
Switch not only supports mobile employees managing their moves but also benefits the mobility teams responsible for the success of the moves. Here’s how Switch delivers for mobility teams:

Provides employees with real-time relocation guidance, reducing dependence on mobility teams to answer routine questions.Reduces program risk by directing employees to trusted relocation guidance and vetted resources instead of generic online searches or non-expert consumer AI tools.Extends relocation support beyond lump-sum and managed-move populations to all employees.

“We are focused on applying technology in ways that solve real challenges for both employees and mobility teams,” said Ham. “Switch is an important step forward, transforming relocation from a collection of tools and resources into a more guided experience that helps employees understand their options, make informed decisions, and move forward with confidence.”
