Sep 29, 2026
Forward Networks has made Forward Predict generally available. The product tests proposed network changes against a digital twin before they reach production.

Forward Networks made Forward Predict generally available, the company announced in a press release. The product uses the Forward Enterprise network digital twin to show how proposed changes could affect connectivity, security and compliance before they reach production.

Forward Predict can model changes to BGP, routing, paths, access control lists, network address translation and firewall rules. It can also test segmentation, reachability and compliance, while checking proposed configurations against required network behavior and vendor specific logic.

IG Group used automated path checks for routing and firewall workflows. The company reported that the system reduced firewall change delivery time by about 95% and saved more than 30 hours of manual engineering work each month.

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
