SWE-1

CognitionProprietaryPending Human Review

SWE-1 is Windsurf’s first model family for the full software-engineering workflow, developed before Windsurf joined Cognition. The main SWE-1 tier is trained for tool-call reasoning and multi-step work in Cascade; SWE-1-lite is a smaller assistant tier replacing Cascade Base, and SWE-1-mini powers rapid predictive code completion in Windsurf Tab. Training emphasizes flow awareness: understanding the shared timeline of developer actions and unfinished work rather than merely generating isolated code snippets. The three tiers are grouped as the original family release. Architecture and parameter counts were not publicly disclosed, and access was through Windsurf rather than downloadable weights.
