Synthefy announced a $6.5M seed round led by Wing VC and released Nori V1, an open-weight tabular foundation model designed to replace XGBoost. Nori enables predictions on raw tables without feature engineering, training, or hyperparameter tuning. With only 30M parameters, it achieves zero-shot performance rivaling Google's 1.6B parameter TabFM on benchmarks. The model is Apache 2.0 licensed for commercial use and available on AWS SageMaker and Snowflake.
