  Scaled Cognition is a Mountain View, California AI model lab and enterprise platform company
  behind APT-1, the Agentic Pretrained Transformer — a frontier model the company says is
  pretrained on action prediction rather than token prediction and purpose-built for enterprise
  customer-experience agents. The commercial surface is an Agent Builder platform (Studio, a Python
  APT SDK, AgentTwin transcript-to-agent conversion, GenAPI simulation, Agent Evaluator, Agent
  Monitor and Agent Defender) exposed to customers through a stateless RESTful API that can run in
  Scaled Cognition's SOC 2 Type II cloud, in a customer VPC, or on-premises. Founded by Dan Roth
  (CEO), Dan Klein (CTO, UC Berkeley) and Damon Pender (CFO), the team previously built Semantic
  Machines, acquired by Microsoft in 2018. Backed by Khosla Ventures with a Genesys partnership.
  No public developer portal, API reference, or machine-readable contract is published — the
  platform API and its OpenAPI live behind the Studio login.

  description: >-
    The stateless RESTful API behind the Scaled Cognition Agent Builder platform, used to author,
    simulate, deploy and monitor APT-1 agents. Scaled Cognition describes the interface publicly as
    an open, vendor-agnostic, stateless REST API with no-code, low-code and Python SDK deployment
    options, but publishes no public reference or machine-readable contract: the platform OpenAPI at
    https://studio.scaledcognition.com/api/openapi.json answers 401 {"error":"Not authenticated."}
    to an anonymous client, and https://api.scaledcognition.com/ answers 403 from an AWS ELB.

  detail: >-
    Scaled Cognition's Agent Builder API demonstrably ships an OpenAPI — https://studio.scaledcognition.com/api/openapi.json
    answers 401 {"error":"Not authenticated."} rather than 404 — but every reference path on that host
    307-redirects to /login, docs.scaledcognition.com does not resolve, api.scaledcognition.com 403s
    every anonymous request from an AWS ELB, and the marketing site has no developer section at all,
    so the contract is readable only by an existing tenant.
