About
Scaled Cognition is a Mountain View AI model lab building what it calls “Super-Reliable Intelligence” for enterprise use 123. Its flagship model, APT (Agentic Pretrained Transformer), is designed to deliver conversational quality while eliminating hallucinations and enforcing policy adherence for high-stakes enterprise applications in financial services, healthcare, telecom, and insurance 123. CEO Dan Roth previously built and sold an agentic AI company to Microsoft; CTO Dan Klein is a UC Berkeley AI professor and NLP researcher 23. The Series A valued Scaled Cognition at approximately $750 million 3.

What Founders Say
CEO Dan Roth: “The problem isn’t resources or effort, it’s architecture. Solving it took years of methodical work and more innovations than we can count” 2.
CTO Dan Klein: “Reliability is engineered into the architecture of our models, not bolted on after the fact” 23.
CEO Dan Roth (on system reliability): “You could have an interaction that was spectacular, think the singularity is here, and then look at the data and discover the system was making grievous errors” 3.
