Torch co-founder Ilya Abyzov said the team came together during their time there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forward Health raised more than $400 million before shutting down abruptly in late 2024.

By acquiring a startup that focused narrowly on data unification, OpenAI appears to be strengthening its foundation before expanding further into health applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The deal also reflects a broader pattern in AI development, where companies bring in small, specialized teams instead of building every capability from scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-to-expect-next\"><\/span><b>What to Expect Next<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Users should not expect immediate, sweeping changes.
