‍
The AI Daily: San Francisco startup Deep Cogito has released a hybrid open-source AI model called Cogito v1. The model uses a novel approach called Iterated Distillation and Amplification (IDA), enabling it to improve itself beyond human capabilities.
Key notes:
- Models in sizes: 3B, 8B, 14B, 32B, and 70B—all beating similar models from LLaMA, DeepSeek, and Qwen.
- The 70B model even scores higher than Llama 4’s larger 109B model in many tests.
- Each model has two modes: regular and reasoning mode with self-reflection.
- You can use them now on Hugging Face, Ollama, Fireworks AI, and Together AI.
- Bigger models (109B, 400B, 671B) will be released soon.
Why it matters: This could be a big step forward in AI. Most AI is limited by what people or bigger models can teach it—but Cogito improves itself over time. This might be a new path to creating super-smart AI that can discover things no one has thought of yet.

Image source: Amazon
‍
The AI Daily: Amazon just introduced Nova Sonic, a powerful new AI voice model that understands and responds like a real person. Unlike older voice AIs that only hear the words, Nova Sonic picks up on tone, pauses, and speaking style.
Key notes:
- Makes it easier to build voice apps with one all-in-one model.
- Understands the speaker’s tone and adjusts its replies to match.
- Waits for the right moment to respond—just like in real conversations.
- Works fast for real-time voice chats.
- Can be used in many areas, like booking travel or helping in healthcare.
Why it matters: Most voice AIs sound robotic because they miss parts of how people actually talk. Nova Sonic keeps those natural speech details, so conversations feel smoother and more human. For businesses, it means better customer service. For users, it means talking to AI will feel more natural and useful.
