It reports Cognition seeing up to 4.8x total token throughput for SWE-2 inference versus GB200 NVL72 and a 3.8x boost in output token throughput for reinforcement-learning post-training trajectories. Workloads are said to run under the same operating model as existing GB200/GB300 fleets via CoreWeave Kubernetes Service, Inference, SUNK, AI Object Storage, and Mission Control.
