Cognition Releases SWE-2 Flash Coding Model

Cognition has released SWE-2 Flash, a fast and efficient coding model, claiming it outperforms all US open-weight models on major benchmarks, including models 3 times its size. The model is based on thinkymachines' Inkling-Small, with 276B total parameters and 12B activated parameters, and is 5 times cheaper and 3 times faster than SWE-2. Within this month, Pro, Max, and Teams users can use it for free in Devin Desktop and Devin CLI, and Cognition also plans to launch a partnership program for securely sharing weights.
