SOPHIA XT
About us · Est. 2024 · St. Louis, MO

Build smarter systems.
Present them better.

SOPHIA XT is the engineering arm of 3 Point Forward: operators, engineers and researchers who would rather build systems that earn their keep than sell AI that doesn't. This is the team behind the work.

One company · two jobs

The engineering arm of 3 Point Forward.

SOPHIA XT is the engineering side of 3 Point Forward. The consulting side works out what is wrong in an operation and specifies what should be built. This side builds it, deploys it and keeps it running. Same people, one line of accountability from the first conversation to the system in production.

3 Point Forward defines the operational problem and the acceptance criteria.
SOPHIA XT builds the system and runs it.

01 · Founder

Thomas Garren

Founder & Chief AI Architect

Independent researcher and systems engineer. Designed and shipped LTMi-XT, Cassandra T1, lens-xt, the Constellation router and the DiagBuddy product family. Each of those is either an Apache 2.0 repository or a product with a URL, and he tells clients when AI is the wrong answer.

What we believe

Cut the hype.
Make the work real.

01

No hype. Just engineering.

If AI is the wrong answer for your workflow, we tell you. If it's the right answer, we prove it before we build it.

02

Operators serving operators.

We've run service businesses. We know what breaks at 7am on a Tuesday. We build for the people doing the work.

03

Build it, ship it, prove it.

Models released under Apache 2.0, papers deposited with a DOI, and every figure carrying the run that produced it. Validation is the only thing that counts.

04

Show the receipts.

Every claim on this site points at a deployed page, a public repository or a published artifact. If it cannot be checked, it is not said.
