Lumen Outpost

Measures model performance across niche and legacy programming languages where standard coding benchmarks fall short.

Our thesis: specialists outperform generalists

Most AI models try to be everything to everyone. They write poetry, solve physics problems, and summarise novels.

Lumen does one thing: write exceptional software.

Our thesis is simple. A model trained exclusively on real production code, from real engineering teams will always beat a generalist at the task developers actually need.

That's why every training decision, every optimisation, every evaluation metric is grounded in a single objective: better code.

Less AI Slop

Optimised for maintainability, readability, and production-quality outputs, not bloated code generation.

Built for Real Systems

Designed to reason across complex architectures, legacy infrastructure, and long-lived codebases.

Beyond Mainstream Languages

Post-trained for enterprise and niche languages including COBOL, Fortran, Verilog, Rust, and complex SQL.

Use Cosine wherever you work

Cosine CLI

Cosine CLI

Bring agentic engineering into your terminal. Run tasks in parallel with specialised sub-agents, connect tools through MCP, and stay in control with automatic checkpoints and IDE-grade language intelligence.

Cosine Cloud

Cosine Cloud

Delegate long-running work to secure, isolated environments. Run tasks in parallel and review results as a team, with built-in controls for usage, model access, and spend.

Desktop Interface

Cosine Desktop

Work with agents across local files and tools in a native desktop workspace. Turn research, spreadsheets, and everyday tasks into work ready for review, while staying in control.

Built to fit your security environment

Start quickly in Cosine Cloud, or move into a dedicated tenant or fully air-gapped deployment when your infrastructure, data, and compliance requirements demand it.

Public Cloud

Fully managed Cosine for teams whose requirements fit our standard cloud controls.

Managed single-tenant cloud

A private Cosine environment operated for your organisation with enterprise controls.

Fully air-gapped

For organisations that need Cosine to run entirely inside their own security perimeter.

Three models. One philosophy.

Lumen isn't a single model — it's a system designed for every layer of the development workflow.

ScoutPost-trained from Devstral 123B

Runs cheaply, operates on-device, and handles the heavy lifting around the coding loop.
