**APIs profiled:** 1

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.
