Osinto - An Independent Intelligence House

IndependentIntelligence

Osinto is an independent intelligence house. We conduct investigations, collect commercial intelligence and evaluate AI models.

Intelligence
you can trust

Intelligence you can't trust is worse than useless. That's why Osinto's approach is grounded in provenance and defensibility - whether we're scoring the credibility of a source or the reliability of an AI model.

We build tools in-house to encode auditable discipline in our work. Cloud Empire is our entity mapping platform. Our AI Evaluations are built on the Inspect framework.

02 / 🍏🗜️ The CIDER Press Apple Silicon LLM Benchmark

AI Model Selection

The CIDER Press (Can It Do Expert Research?) is Osinto's first published benchmark; evaluating the performance of open weights models on Apple Silicon. On a single, air-gapped MacBook Pro we test leading Chinese, European and North American Large Language Models (LLMs) using a lightweight, tool-calling agentic harness - against a held-out set of real-world knowledge work tasks.
