Revealing The Hidden Language of Tables

Over the past three years, we've watched AI transform how we interact with unstructured data like text, audio, images and video. ChatGPT can write poetry. Sora can produce movies. Claude can code.
But the most valuable data in the world doesn't live in documents, codebases or pixels. It lives in tables – spread across databases and operational systems that power the world’s largest companies and governments.
The most crucial decisions organizations make – from which drug to advance to human trial, to which financial transactions to block, to when to shut off power to reduce wildfire risk – are informed by structured data organized in rows and columns. In tables.
Yet so much of the value in those tables remains hidden.
We built Fundamental because we realized the world’s biggest enterprises were leaving trillions of dollars on the table – literally.
Today we unveil our most powerful Large Tabular Model yet: NEXUS – a generalized foundation model purpose-built to leverage the structured data that underpins every enterprise decision.
With NEXUS, Fundamental is at the forefront of a new category of AI. Think of NEXUS as the OS for enterprise decisions.
Traditional machine learning requires armies of data scientists to build custom models using antiquated algorithms for every prediction task. Each use case is a laborious project – requiring hand-crafted features, endless tuning cycles and fragile code that breaks constantly. Months to predict customer churn. Months to forecast demand.
NEXUS delivers more accurate predictions with just one line of code.
We've trained our model on billions of tabular datasets so it natively understands the non-linear relationships and hidden patterns that exist across any table, in any industry.
The impact is immediate. Banks can predict which institutions are likely to fail under stress. Manufacturers can prevent billion-dollar equipment failures. Retailers can anticipate inventory shortfalls. Not through months of custom model development, but through a foundation model that just works out-of-the-box.
The hidden language of tables can now be revealed. And it's going to change everything.
