Scaled Cognition

Scaled Cognition is a Mountain View AI company building what it calls the first Agentic Pretrained Transformer (APT), a model designed and trained specifically for taking reliable, policy-adherent actions rather than just predicting language. Founded by the team behind Semantic Machines (acquired by Microsoft in 2018), it targets enterprise customer-experience workflows where mistakes and hallucinations are unacceptable - financial services, healthcare, telecom, and insurance. In June 2026 the company raised a $100M Series A led by Khosla Ventures to expand its research team and accelerate enterprise deployments.
