Forge commits $30 million to webAI as the companies partner to build and deploy private, specialized AI systems inside enterprises.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — webAI today announced a strategic partnership with Forge AI Deployment, which is making a $30 million commitment to webAI to build and deploy private, specialized AI systems for enterprise customers.

The partnership pairs webAI’s collaborative intelligence platform with Forge’s enterprise deployment and services operation. Forge will work directly with customers to build AI systems around their proprietary data, workflows and operations, running on infrastructure those customers control.

The agreement comes as the AI market begins shifting from building increasingly capable general-purpose models to putting specialized intelligence to work inside businesses.

Forge is led by enterprise technology veterans, including founder and CEO John Ezzell, who previously built an Oracle-focused services and reseller business that was acquired by Deloitte. Forge is applying a similar playbook to AI: combining a new technology platform with the implementation, integration and operational expertise required to make it useful inside large organizations.

webAI provides the intelligence layer behind that effort.

Rather than relying solely on a general-purpose model, webAI enables organizations to deploy specialized models around their own data, people and operations. Those models can run across infrastructure the organization controls and collaborate as a system.

Forge will design, deploy and operate those systems for customers, from individual specialized AI Personas to company-wide deployments.

“A general model is only the beginning,” said David Stout, co-founder and CEO of webAI. “Individuals and organizations need intelligence deeply specialized to them. We believe the path to super intelligence (SI) isn’t one model that knows everything; it’s specialized intelligence working together. Collaboration gets us there faster.”

From AI models to AI infrastructure

webAI calls this emerging architecture the decision factory: intelligence built around the unique knowledge, expertise and workflows of an organization and deployed wherever decisions are made.

Instead of relying on a single general-purpose model, specialized AI Personas can operate as domain experts and work together across webAI’s Intelligence Delivery Network (IDN), a private network of compute controlled by the organization.

Forge will take responsibility for turning that technology into working enterprise systems, including architecture, secure deployment, model integration and optimization.

“Enterprises don’t need another AI demo,” said John Ezzell, founder and CEO of Forge AI Deployment. “They need AI that actually works inside their business. The opportunity is to take this technology from experimentation to production, and webAI gives us the infrastructure to do that.”

The partnership also expands webAI’s growing ecosystem of systems integrators, software companies and channel partners building, deploying and distributing specialized AI solutions on its platform across commercial and public-sector markets.

For enterprises, the shift is simple: AI stops being something they subscribe to and becomes intelligence they own.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In response to a letter from U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), state insurance regulators leading the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) today detailed how the state-based regulatory framework is evolving alongside insurers’ changing investment strategies, ownership structures, and risk-transfer arrangements.  

“Rather than relying on a static regulatory framework, regulators have regularly updated capital requirements, reporting standards, supervisory tools, and analytical capabilities to address emerging risks while maintaining a consistent focus on insurer solvency and policyholder protection,” said NAIC leadership.

Among other actions, this work includes:

Strengthening asset-adequacy testing through Actuarial Guideline 53 (AG 53) to provide greater consistency in evaluating the risks associated with complex and higher-yielding assets supporting life insurance business.

Intensifying oversight of certain life insurance and annuity reinsurance transactions through Actuarial Guideline 55 (AG 55), including setting higher expectations for asset-adequacy analysis and reserve adequacy.

Instituting a 45% risk-based capital charge for residual interests in structured securities to ensure that capital requirements appropriately recognize investment risk.

Creating a formal process for evaluating whether credit rating providers’ methodologies and rating mappings remain appropriate for regulatory purposes.

As NAIC leaders noted, “State insurance regulators continually evaluate whether the solvency framework appropriately captures emerging and changing risks.”

This adaptive approach, built on collaboration and coordination, has enabled state-based insurance regulation to lead for more than 150 years and will continue to guide it in an ever-changing insurance landscape.

On September 8, 2026, ServiceTitan reported second quarter 2027 earnings. Among other items, the Company reported that “[b]ecause Max” – ServiceTitan’s AI-powered enterprise software package – “requires substantial change management, we typically do not bill subscription fees for the first quarter of an upsell Max contract, and we have also elected not to charge existing customers an onboarding fee when transitioning to Max. As a result of these factors, we expect both our platform revenue and professional services revenue to grow at a slower pace for the remainder of fiscal 2027.” The Company further reported that “[w]e expect the mix shift to Max to lower professional services revenue by roughly an additional $2 million over the remainder of this fiscal year, which, of course, also flows through to professional services gross margin.”
