The catalog includes Deep Network 1.4 for network troubleshooting, Antares-3B for vulnerability localization, Decision Model 1.0, and Cisco Time Series Model 1.0. The API is OpenAI-compatible. In a test with World Wide Technology, a fine-tuned 31-billion-parameter Deep Network Model got to the right fix in 11 of 12 lab scenarios. Model Foundry enters Controlled Availability at Partner Summit, with an early-access cohort including Armada, AWS, Baseten, Distyl, Fireworks, Microsoft, Ollama, RiverAI, and WWT. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How accurate was Cisco's fine-tuned Deep Network Model at finding the right fix in network troubleshooting tests? The fine-tuned 31-billion-parameter Deep Network Model recommended the exact right fix in 11 of 12 real-world lab scenarios, according to World Wide Technology's evaluation. The base model, which had never seen WWT's network, performed worse. Problems tested spanned BGP, OSPF, link failures, router policy, simultaneous faults, and decoy config changes designed to look like faults. _Teams evaluating AI for network troubleshooting can track real-world benchmark results like this on daily.dev._ ### What is Cisco Model Foundry and what models does it include? Cisco Model Foundry is a platform service in Cisco Cloud Control that gives partners access to Cisco's purpose-built domain models and lets them fine-tune those models on customer data. It includes Deep Network 1.4 for network troubleshooting, Antares-3B for vulnerability localization, Decision Model 1.0 for agent tool-calling decisions, and Cisco Time Series Model 1.0 for observability data, alongside Foundation-Sec and SecureBERT 2.0. _Partners weighing domain-specific versus general-purpose AI models can follow releases like this on daily.dev._ ### Which companies are in Cisco's early-access partner cohort for its open AI models? The initial early-access cohort includes Armada, AWS, Baseten, Distyl, Fireworks, Microsoft, Ollama, RiverAI, and WWT. These partners get early access to model weights ahead of each new release and provide hosted inference, modular data centers, developer tools, and hands-on customization support for Cisco's open models. _Developers tracking which cloud and inference partners support new AI model releases can follow this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Mastering the Foundry Model Catalog, Model Router, and Foundry Local](https://daily.dev/posts/mastering-the-foundry-model-catalog-model-router-and-foundry-local-odqpoltxv) · C\# Corner · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Microsoft Foundry Now Builds, Deploys, and Governs AI Agents End to End.](https://daily.dev/posts/microsoft-foundry-now-builds-deploys-and-governs-ai-agents-end-to-end--it7nmfneb) · ITNEXT · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Building AI apps and agents with Microsoft Foundry](https://daily.dev/posts/building-ai-apps-and-agents-with-microsoft-foundry-tdq7h47dl) · InfoWorld · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#llm](https://daily.dev/tags/llm), [#deep-learning](https://daily.dev/tags/deep-learning), [#networking](https://daily.dev/tags/networking), [#cisco](https://daily.dev/tags/cisco) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-cisco-model-foundry-bringing-ai-to-our-partners-gilp31ody) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Introducing Cisco Model Foundry: Bringing AI to our partners","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-cisco-model-foundry-bringing-ai-to-our-partners-gilp31ody","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-cisco-model-foundry-bringing-ai-to-our-partners-gilp31ody"},"datePublished":"2026-10-26T20:03:20.514Z","dateModified":"2026-10-26T20:40:16.400Z","description":"Cisco launched Model Foundry, a new platform service in Cisco Cloud Control that gives partners access to its purpose-built domain models and lets them...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/a419473b6b5e2eba1cc1b64467beccd7?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/a419473b6b5e2eba1cc1b64467beccd7?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Cisco","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Cisco","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/68b8a8be17184235a5067d7c84162f77","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/cisco"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-cisco-model-foundry-bringing-ai-to-our-partners-gilp31ody","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":2},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,llm,deep-learning,networking,cisco","timeRequired":"PT8M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Cisco","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/cisco"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Introducing Cisco Model Foundry: Bringing AI to our partners"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-cisco-model-foundry-bringing-ai-to-our-partners-gilp31ody#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How accurate was Cisco's fine-tuned Deep Network Model at finding the right fix in network troubleshooting tests?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The fine-tuned 31-billion-parameter Deep Network Model recommended the exact right fix in 11 of 12 real-world lab scenarios, according to World Wide Technology's evaluation.
