Introducing Cisco Model Foundry: Bringing AI to Our Partners
Cisco, Monday, October 26th, 2026
Cisco unveils Model Foundry at Partner Summit, letting partners use and fine-tune Cisco's networking and security AI models.
Cisco introduced Model Foundry, a platform service in Cisco Cloud Control that gives partners access to Cisco's purpose-built models through an OpenAI-compatible API and lets them fine-tune the models on customer data.
Initial models include Deep Network 1.4 for network troubleshooting, Antares-3B for vulnerability localization, Decision Model 1.0 for agent decisions and Cisco Time Series Model 1.0, alongside Foundation-Sec and SecureBERT 2.0.
In tests with World Wide Technology, a fine-tuned Deep Network Model reached the right fix in 11 of 12 lab troubleshooting scenarios.
Cisco says Model Foundry launches partner-first so partners can serve, customize and build practices around the models.
