Soumith ChintalaXCognition introduces SWE-2 Flash, a fast open-weight coding modelAICognition introduces SWE-2 Flash, a fast and efficient coding model that it says outperforms all American open-weight models on leading evals, including ones three times larger. Cognition says it is building a program to securely share the weights with partners and researchers, balancing transparency against cyber risks.
CognitionOfficialCognition makes SWE-2 Flash free for Pro, Max, and Teams Devin usersAICognition says SWE-2 Flash is free until the end of this month for all Pro, Max, and Teams users in Devin Desktop and Devin CLI. The company will share more details about its secure weight access program in the coming weeks.

AICognition introduces SWE-2 Flash, a coding model it calls fully American, available today in Devin Desktop and CLI at one-fifth the price and 3x the speed of SWE-2. Cognition says Terminal-Bench 4.0 scores rose from 0.9% to 20.0% over the base model Inkling-Small, and the company is not publicly releasing the weights because of cyber misuse risk, instead planning a program to share them with trusted industry partners and research labs.
