description: >-
  AIHunters was an AI and computer-vision company that built Cognitive Mill, a cognitive computing
  cloud platform for Media and Entertainment automation. Cognitive Mill analyzed long-form video with
  human-like scene understanding and shipped as branded services: CognitiveReelz (automated sports
  highlights and movie summarization), CognitiveSkip (end-credits detection for EPG correction),
  CognitiveCrop (cropping to portrait/mobile aspect), CognitiveCast (celebrity face-recognition
  metadata), CognitiveNude (nudity filtering) and CognitiveShapes (broadcast graphics detection). It
  exposed a public REST API at api.cognitivemill.com behind a Swagger UI. The company later became
  GrayPaw and pivoted to industrial cognitive vision; in February 2026 Linque acquired the Cognitive
  Vision AI IP. Both aihunters.com and cognitivemill.com now redirect to linque.com and the Cognitive
  Mill API host no longer resolves.

  detail: >-
    AIHunters no longer operates: it rebranded to GrayPaw, Linque acquired its Cognitive Vision AI
    IP on 2026-02-15, and both aihunters.com and cognitivemill.com now answer every path — including
    a negative-control path that cannot exist — with a blanket HTTP 301 to the acquirer's site at
    linque.com, while the Cognitive Mill REST API host api.cognitivemill.com has no DNS record at
    all and the only archived capture of its Swagger UI never included the spec document it loaded.
