How to use Cogito v2.1 671B
Model details
Architecture Overview:
• Cogito v2.1 671B employs a sophisticated Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with 671 billion total parameters, utilizing sparse routing mechanisms to activate only specialized expert subnetworks per token, enabling massive scale without proportional compute costs
• Features a 128K token context window optimized for long-form reasoning, technical documentation, and multi-turn conversations
• Implements a hybrid inference system supporting both standard mode (direct answers using internalized "intuition") and reasoning mode (step-by-step self-reflection with visible thought chains)
• Optimized for efficient serverless deployment on Together AI's infrastructure
Training Methodology - Iterated Distillation & Amplification (IDA):
• Revolutionary self-improvement approach where the model runs reasoning chains during training, then is trained on its own intermediate thoughts to develop stronger "machine intuition"
• Unlike traditional models that rely on extended inference-time reasoning, Cogito distills successful reasoning patterns directly into model parameters
• Training process explicitly rewards shorter, more efficient reasoning paths while discouraging unnecessary computational detours
• Trained on multilingual datasets spanning 30+ languages with emphasis on coding, STEM, instruction following, and general helpfulness
• Total training cost remarkably achieved at under $3.5 million for the entire Cogito family (3B to 671B), demonstrating unprecedented cost efficiency
Performance Characteristics:
• AIME 2025 (Competition Mathematics): 89.47% - outperforming models 10x larger
• MATH-500 benchmark: 98.57% accuracy
• GPQA Diamond (Scientific Reasoning): 77.72%
• SWE-Bench Verified (Coding): 42.00% solve rate
• MMLU Pro (Reasoning & Knowledge): 84.69%
• Multilingual MMLU: 86.24% across 30+ languages
• Average token efficiency: 4,894 tokens per response (lowest among frontier models)
• Performance competitive with DeepSeek v3, matching or exceeding latest 0528 model while using 60% shorter reasoning chains
• Approaches capabilities of closed models like Claude 4 Opus, O3, and GPT-5 across diverse benchmarks
• Demonstrates emergent multimodal reasoning capabilities, able to reason about images despite not being explicitly trained for visual tasks
