## What we know about Cosine

Cosine is a ai coding agents platform: "The Sovereign AI Lab": coding agent + own post-trained Lumen models, pitched at regulated/air-gapped orgs and niche languages (COBOL, Fortran, Verilog). Formerly branded Genie (Genie CLI introduced Q2 2025). Secondary segment: terminal_agent (cos CLI). This profile tracks every Cosine fact we have verified, each linked to a primary source and dated.

Cosine does not publish a public per-minute rate we have been able to verify, so the price figure here stays blank until we can confirm one. We would rather show nothing than a guessed number; if you have a current Cosine quote, it is the fastest way for us to close that gap.

On capabilities, Cosine covers enterprise plan (contact sales), pick the model per task, self-hosted / vpc deployment, admin audit logs, autonomous multi-file edits, and runs terminal commands, and does not offer soc 2. Each of those is verified against Cosine's own docs or dashboard, not marketing copy.

For compliance, with Cosine: SOC 2 Type II is not reported. If you are in a regulated space, confirm the current posture with Cosine before you commit, since these change plan by plan.

In total we track 26 verified facts for Cosine today, each linking the primary source it came from so you can check our work - and vendor claims we have not measured ourselves are labeled as such on the Cosine fact sheet below.
