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.

Variants

Cogito-v1 Preview

No	Variant	Branch	Cortex CLI command
1	Cogito-v1-Preview-LLaMA-3B	3b	`cortex run cognito-v1:3b`
2	Cogito-v1-Preview-LLaMA-8B	8b	`cortex run cognito-v1:8b`
3	Cogito-v1-Preview-Qwen-14B	14b	`cortex run cognito-v1:14b`
4	Cogito-v1-Preview-Qwen-32B	32b	`cortex run cognito-v1:32b`
5	Cogito-v1-Preview-LLaMA-70B	70b	`cortex run cognito-v1:70b`

Each branch contains a default quantized version:

LLaMA-3B: q4-km
LLaMA-8B: q4-km
Qwen-14B: q4-km
Qwen-32B: q4-km
LLaMA-70B: q4-km
