Cogito v1 Outperforms Llama 4 | Full Tutorial with LM Studio and LiteLLM

From the creator

Cogito v1 is the latest in state-of-the-art (SotA) open source / open weight LLMs. It manages to outperform even Llama 4 in various benchmarks and weight classes. In this video, we see how to deploy and use Cogito v1 locally with LiteLLM and LM Studio. We also build this out to enable full agent logic with tool use / function calling. 📕 Article: https://www.jamesbriggs.io/cogito-v1 📌 Code: https://github.com/aurelio-labs/cookbook/blob/main/gen-ai/local/lmstudio/cogito-v1.ipynb 👾 New AI Platform: https://platform.aurelio.ai/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jamescalam LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamescalam/ #aiagents #llm #coding #ai #artificialintellegence #python #programming 00:00 Cogito v1 00:26 Local LLMs with LM Studio 02:38 Python Setup with uv 03:49 Loading our LLM in LM Studio 04:31 Using LM Studio with Python 05:17 Using LiteLLM with LM Studio 09:14 Tools and Agents 12:29 Create a Web Search Tool 16:19 Tool Calling with LiteLLM 20:54 Building a Local Agent

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
