Cosine vs Hyper (2026)

Cosine

by Cosine

Hyper

by ASI Flow, Inc.

Pros

• ✓Lumen Outpost is tuned for less common enterprise languages such as COBOL, ABAP, Fortran and Verilog, and Cosine reports a 53.9% Niche-Bench score against 48.3% for Kimi K2.6, the model it was built on.
• ✓Runs from public cloud to single-tenant or fully air-gapped deployment, with a choice of Lumen, open-weight or customer-approved models, for teams whose code cannot leave their network.
• ✓Flat team pricing with published credit allocations: Starter $19, Team $199 and Enterprise $999 a month, published add-on credit rates, and no charge for extra members on paid plans.

Limitations

• –Credit-based billing makes monthly cost depend on task size, model choice and runtime: some third-party frontier models use credits more than 20 times faster than Lumen Outpost.
• –Little independent review evidence: 6 reviews on Product Hunt (4.7/5) and none on G2, so buyers rely mainly on benchmarks Cosine runs itself.
• –Documentation is partly out of date: the FAQ still describes an earlier Genie model, a free plan and task-based pricing, and the billing docs list plans that differ from the pricing page.

Pros

• ✓Every plan publishes its price and included credit, and each session runs under a hard spending cap with costs shown live.
• ✓Tests and browser flows run in a sandbox and are logged in a verification ledger, Autopilot re-checks each task in a separate verifier before marking it done, and approvals gate deploys, merges, secrets and extra spend.
• ✓Two MCP servers, a REST API, Python and TypeScript SDKs and an A2A endpoint let other agents delegate work to Hyper.

Limitations

• –Verification covers what tests and browser flows can observe: ASI Flow states that it does not prove business correctness.
• –No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification yet: ASI Flow lists SOC 2 as on its roadmap and ISO 27001 as planned.
• –Independent validation is still early: two reviews on Product Hunt so far, ASI Flow's open AppBench covers six tasks, and its Terminal-Bench 2.1 run is being published as it runs with no completion rate yet.
