Deep Cogito Drops Reasoning AI That Can Literally Think Twice 🧠

Source : The Virtual Forge

New AI startup Deep Cogito, founded by two ex-Googlers, just revealed AI models that choose to reason—or not. Wild.

🚨Breaking News:
Their “Cogito 1” models toggle between turbo-math mode and fast-chill answers, outperforming big names like Meta and DeepSeek.

⚡Wire Simplified –

  • Cogito models let you switch reasoning on/off like airplane mode.

  • Best part? They beat Meta’s Llama 4 Scout even with reasoning off.

  • Trained in just 75 days by a tiny team. Efficiency? 10/10.

  • Built on Meta’s Llama + Alibaba’s Qwen but supercharged with fresh training sauce.

  • Available right now via Fireworks AI & Together AI. Just plug and play.

✔️Straight to the Point:
Deep Cogito might’ve just dropped the Swiss Army knife of open AI—fast, smart, and flexibly genius. All eyes on what's next.

Mira Murati Assembles Avengers of AI 💥🧪

Ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati’s startup Thinking Machines Lab just added two AI legends: Bob McGrew and Alec Radford.

🚨Breaking News:
Murati is quietly building an all-star squad with OGs from OpenAI who built ChatGPT, Whisper, DALL-E & more. No chill.

⚡Wire Simplified –

  • Bob McGrew was OpenAI’s Chief Research Officer. Brainiac alert.

  • Alec Radford helped invent GPT, Whisper, and DALL-E. Like, casually.

  • Thinking Machines wants to make AI more personal and understandable.

  • Still secretive on what they’re actually building—but big money and big brains involved.

  • Murati’s got OpenAI co-founder John Schulman on board too. Power move.

✔️Straight to the Point:
With a dream team of AI pioneers, Thinking Machines might not just build tools—they could rewrite how we use AI entirely.

💼 Would you back a startup just because it has ex-OpenAI legends?

Google to AI Staff: “Here’s Money, Please Don’t Leave Us Yet” 💸🧍

Google’s DeepMind is paying AI employees to not work—just so they don’t join rivals like OpenAI or Microsoft. LOL.

🚨Breaking News:
Some AI staff in the U.K. are locked into year-long “do nothing” noncompete deals—but still getting paid. Seriously.

⚡Wire Simplified –

  • Google using aggressive noncompetes to stop brain drain.

  • Staff are on a forced paid break—sounds fun till you're left out of AI progress.

  • Microsoft’s VP says DeepMind staff are DM’ing him in despair 😢

  • Google says they only do this “selectively.” Uh-huh.

  • AI hiring wars are basically tech’s version of Survivor right now.

✔️Straight to the Point:
Google’s paying people to stay idle while rivals speed ahead—flex or flop? Either way, AI talent wars just hit new levels.
