Fortytwo builds a decentralised peer-to-peer AI network that links small language models running on consumer-grade hardware into a collaborative Swarm Inference system. The platform routes multi-step reasoning tasks across specialised models that peer-review responses to reduce errors and hallucinations. Developers can access reasoning via an Inference API or on-chain, while node operators run models, earn rewards, and receive ratings recorded on the Monad blockchain. Fortytwo has launched a devnet on the Monad testnet and operates an early adopter program called “Hitchhiking to AGI.” The company says each new node strengthens the network’s intelligence without costly centralised training, aiming for cost-efficient, scalable, and community-owned AI. Financially, Fortytwo raised $2.3M in pre-seed funding to accelerate its devnet rollout, advance distributed multi-step reasoning, and fund further research and product development.
