Overview

DeepCogito introduces the Cogito-v1 Preview series, a powerful suite of hybrid reasoning models trained with Iterated Distillation and Amplification (IDA). These models are designed to push the boundaries of open-weight LLMs through scalable alignment and self-improvement strategies, offering unmatched performance across coding, STEM, multilingual, and agentic use cases.

Each model in this series operates in both standard (direct answer) and reasoning (self-reflective) modes, significantly outperforming size-equivalent open models such as LLaMA, DeepSeek, and Qwen. The 70B variant notably surpasses the newly released LLaMA 4 109B MoE model in benchmarks.
