What it is useful for
Organization context
Provenance and derivatives
All Cogito releases are post-trained from base models released by other developers: Llama and Qwen checkpoints for v1; Llama 3.1 70B and 405B, Llama 4 Scout, and DeepSeek-V3-Base for v2; and DeepSeek-V3-Base for v2.1. Deep Cogito describes its own contribution as in-house post-training using Iterated Distillation and Amplification and process supervision of reasoning chains.357981110

U.S. eligibility
Eligible · basis: U.S. headquarters
The Cogito models are post-trained and published by Deep Cogito Inc., which is headquartered in San Francisco (see the deep-cogito record). Eligibility rests on Deep Cogito's post-training; the Llama, Qwen, and DeepSeek base models were developed by other organizations. Each release is assessed on its own record.2125
