The only frontier model for CX that eliminates hallucinations

Everything you need to know about Scaled Cognition — who we are, what we're building, and why it matters.

Last updated: February 2026

Scaled Cognition is an AI company building the world's most reliable agentic AI for enterprise customer experience. Our flagship model, APT-1 (Agentic Pretrained Transformer), is purpose-built to take actions — not just converse — with the determinism and compliance that regulated industries demand. APT-1 is the only frontier model for CX that eliminates hallucinations.

We work with leading global enterprises and CX leaders like Genesys, the leader in CX orchestration, and are backed by Khosla Ventures. Our fast-growing team is comprised of researchers and engineers from Microsoft, Google, the Allen Institute for AI, UC Berkeley, CMU, Stanford, and MIT.

"The AI industry is obsessed with superintelligence. At Scaled Cognition, we're obsessed with super reliability. In CX, reliability isn't a nice-to-have. It's the product."

"Most frontier AI models speak language natively and learned actions as a second language. For APT-1, actions aren't a second language. They're native."

Backed by Khosla Ventures

Vinod Khosla is on our board and has been vocal about why Scaled Cognition's approach — designing for zero hallucinations from the ground up — is fundamentally different from trying to patch reliability into existing LLMs after the fact.
