Cognition officially introduced SWE-2, its coding model closest yet to the frontier.
- Scores on par with recent frontier models on leading evals, at up to 70% lower cost
- The team scaled RL to multiple trillions of parameters with a refined recipe that pushes the Pareto curve on both capabilities and cost
