Run frontier open-source models on dedicated GPUs, without the API bill or the lock-in.

Northwood is your deployment partner for the open frontier: the best open models, run in your environment, tuned for cost and utilization, portable across models and hardware. Your code and designs never leave.

Own your AI infrastructure, and the cost curve that comes with it.

Your AI usage is growing and so is the bill. Northwood helps you run the best open models on infrastructure you own, tuned for utilization and cost per token, portable across models and hardware, then builds the knowledge and workflow layer on top. Pure-software teams and companies that build hardware both keep their code, firmware, designs, customer context, and internal knowledge in their own environment.

API cost scales with success. Every token is metered and marked up; the bill grows with adoption. Self-hosting open models flips usage from a variable cost to a fixed one.
Lock-in is a roadmap risk. Provider pricing, deprecations, and rate limits aren’t yours to control. Model-portable deployments swap models and hardware without rebuilding the workflow layer.
Your code shouldn’t train someone else’s model. Inference runs in your environment; outbound routes to provider APIs don’t exist unless you create them.

From the inference layer up: run it efficiently, then build on it.

Engineering

Internal knowledge and documentation

AI workflows across code, firmware, hardware designs, docs, tickets, and design decisions, scoped to your repositories and permissioned to the right teams. Engineers get answers without leaving your environment.

Support

Customer support knowledge workflows

A controlled AI layer across your product knowledge, customer history, and support documentation. Consistent, grounded responses, without customer context leaking into third-party logs.

Sales

Sales engineering and product context

Technical answers scoped to your product, customer conversations, and internal playbooks. Sales teams get accurate, sourced responses without relying on institutional memory.

Operations

Onboarding and internal enablement

Turn operating procedures, runbooks, and institutional knowledge into searchable, governed AI workflows. New team members get the right context faster; senior staff stop answering the same questions.

Your infrastructure. Your models. Your cost curve. Start with one.

Most engagements start with one team, one knowledge domain, and one high-value workflow. Northwood helps map the deployment path from there.
