Deep Cogito v2: Open-source AI that hones its reasoning skills

Deep Cogito has unveiled Cogito v2, a family of open-source AI models designed to enhance their own reasoning capabilities through a novel approach called Iterated Distillation and Amplification (IDA). This technique enables the models to internalize their reasoning processes, resulting in more efficient and accurate decision-making, with reasoning chains that are 60% shorter than competitors like DeepSeek R1, and achieving this with a total development cost under $3.5 million. The lineup includes four hybrid reasoning models, ranging from 70 billion to 671 billion parameters, with the largest, a 671B Mi
