Cognition's SWE-2 achieves 92.8 on Terminal-Bench 2.1

Cognition releases SWE-2, a 2.8T-parameter MoE coding model post-trained from Kimi K3, scoring 92.8 on Terminal-Bench 2.1.

SWE-2 is a proprietary mixture-of-experts model with 2.8T total parameters and 104B active per token, built on the Kimi K3 base with additional Cognition reinforcement-learning post-training for agentic coding. Vendor-reported benchmarks include FrontierCode 1.1 Main 50.0, DeepSWE 1.1 73.0, Terminal-Bench 2.1 92.8, and Terminal-Bench 4.0 27.3. It claims to be one point behind Claude Fable 5.1 on FrontierCode at a claimed 64% lower cost, but trails Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra by a wide margin on long-horizon Terminal-Bench 4.0 tasks. The model is available today in Devin Desktop and CLI, with no published weights, no per-token API pricing, and all figures pending independent replication.

Cognition launches new SWE-2 model, Rivaling Fable 5.1 and GPT-Astra

Cognition released SWE-2, a coding model post-trained from Kimi K3 that scores 50.0% on FrontierCode 1.1 Main, near Fable 5.1 at 64% lower cost.

Cognition introduced SWE-2, its most advanced coding model, post-trained from the 2.8T-parameter Kimi K3 base model. It achieves 50.0% on FrontierCode 1.1 Main, 73.0% on DeepSWE 1.1, and 92.8% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, beating Grok 4.6 and SWE-1.7 while matching Fable 5.1 and GPT-5.6 Sol at a fraction of the price. The company says it scaled reinforcement learning to the multi-trillion-parameter regime for the first time, using Pareto-informed cost penalties that train all reasoning-effort levels in a single run, tripled RL environments, and NVFP4/FP8 quantization-aware training. SWE-2 is available today in Devin Desktop and CLI, with rollout on Devin Web and Fusion.
