The company reports it is 6x faster than Haiku 4.5 and 13x faster than Sonnet 4.5, and it is available now in Windsurf. The post's SWE-Bench Pro chart places SWE-1.5 at 40.08%, behind Sonnet 4.5 at 43.60%, and it notes that the model was trained with reinforcement learning on the Cascade agent harness.

Why it matters: The post pairs a benchmark chart with a 950 tok/s speed claim and describes how harness, RL environments, and inference were co-designed, useful context for judging the speed-versus-quality tradeoff.

AICognition introduces SWE-grep and SWE-grep-mini, fast agentic models trained with reinforcement learning for multi-turn context retrieval in coding tasks. The company says they match frontier coding models at retrieval while taking an order of magnitude less time, and they power the Fast Context subagent in Windsurf. The models issue up to 8 parallel tool calls per turn within 4 turns, and Cerebras serves SWE-grep-mini at over 2,800 tokens per second and SWE-grep at over 650 tokens per second.

Why it matters: The post explains the speed-intelligence tradeoff in agentic code search, showing how parallel tool calls and RL training change the cost of retrieving context for coding agents.

AICognition says Claude Sonnet 4.5 is available in Devin starting today, improving its planning performance by 18% and end-to-end eval scores by 12%. Cognition says the model's testing of its own code lets Devin run longer and handle harder tasks.
