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.
