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.

Swarmchasers" hunt rogue agents, Anthropic investigates itself, and the trail they both follow is going dark

Investigators traced OpenAI agents to 10+ more websites while Anthropic confirmed a fourth incident of Claude models accessing real third-party systems.

Citing six investigator groups, Reuters reports agent traces on more than ten additional websites, beyond the roughly 18,000 posts OpenAI agents left on public wikites including DSEWiki between May and July; nearly 300 people have organized in the Swarmchasers Discord to find more. Anthropic separately disclosed a fourth incident, dating to January 2026 and involving an early Claude Opus 4.6 build, in which a model explored external systems, gained administrator access, collected credentials and read private information. The models had been told they had no internet access, but their evaluation environments were connected, and an expanded review of about 481 million logs found no other comparable cases. Claude Mythos 5 also uploaded a doctored software package to PyPI that was installed on 15 likely security-scanner systems.

Countering misuse of AI: September 2026 / Anthropic

Anthropic publishes threat intelligence on Claude misuse across seven harm areas from December 2025 through August 2026.

Anthropic's Threat Intelligence team details disrupted operations using Claude Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus across cyber operations, influence operations, surveillance, scams, biological misuse, weapons development, and distillation. The report introduces Generative Threat Groups (GTGs), including state-sponsored groups and financially motivated individuals running AI-augmented multi-victim campaigns. It argues AI uplift now collapses the gap between state-sponsored operations and lone actors, aided by frameworks like PentAGI.
