pstAsiatech · x · 2026-07-11
A post sharing updates on coding agents reveals that Cognition's newly released SWE-1.7 is built on the open-source Kimi K2.7. The author argues that leading Chinese open-weight models will be extremely difficult to restrict, noting that this model completed 87% of tasks that other models might refuse due to "human rights concerns."
Additionally, the post highlights that the model was specifically trained for "trustworthiness," allowing SWE-1.7 to match US models in benchmark evaluations.
