Entity-002: SCOUT - Reconnaissance Intelligence

VANTA Research: Entity-002 Release

We're releasing Scout, the second model in our Entity series exploring cognitive diversity in AI systems.

OVERVIEW
Scout is a 4B parameter model optimized for tactical problem decomposition and situational assessment. Built on Gemma3 4B using iterative LoRA merging methodology.

CHARACTERISTICS:
- Context-aware questioning before recommendations
- Structure protocol generation for complex scenarios
- Risk-weighted decision frameworks
- Time-constrained action planning

DIFFERENTIATION:
Where Entity-001 (Wraith) focuses on pattern analysis and abstract reasoning, Scout emphasizes operational planning and execution frameworks.

APPLICATIONS:
- Infrastructure assessment and planning
- Incident response protocol development
- System migration planning
- Technical decision support

Scout is part of ongoing research in personality-enhanced language models and cognitive fit optimization.
