Scaled Cognition is an AI model lab building Super-Reliable Intelligence for the enterprise. The company's flagship model APT delivers human-like conversational fluency while eliminating hallucinations powering AI agents that follow policy and take action when the stakes are real: bank balances, medical records, flight changes, insurance claims. Scaled Cognition's platform includes the model, agentic tooling, simulation and evaluation frameworks, and live agent monitoring.
