Introducing Scout 1.0: A New SRE Model Powering Bits AI with Frontier Performance at a Fraction of the Cost
Datadog, Thursday, October 15th, 2026
Datadog launches Scout 1.0, its first AI model specialized for investigating production issues, powering Bits AI SRE.
Datadog introduced Scout 1.0, its first AI model specialized for investigating production issues, which powers its Bits AI SRE and was trained to cut inference cost so investigations can run far more often and earlier in an incident.
Datadog says Scout 1.0 medium matches leading frontier models at 3-8x lower estimated inference cost on its target scenarios.
With test-time scaling, the xhigh variant matches a top frontier model at 4x lower cost.
