Cognition Ships SWE-2 at 70% Lower Cost Alongside $2B Raise
DevinAI · x · 2026-09-11
A packed week for Cognition: $2B raised, the SWE-2.0 coding model now generally available, and a new team member onboard.
Key claims for SWE-2:
- Scores on par with recent frontier models on leading evals, at up to 70% lower cost — "our closest model yet to the frontier."
- RL training scaled to multiple trillions of parameters, with a refined recipe pushing the Pareto curve on both capability and cost.
More releases promised this week.
