SWE-1.6

SWE-1.6 is an app-only language model from Cognition, released March 1, 2026.

We’re releasing SWE-1.6, our latest model built for software engineering agents, and we’re making it generally available in Windsurf. SWE-1.6 is optimized for both intelligence and model UX. Moreover, it is industry-leading in both speed (up to 950 tok/s) and cost (free tier for the next 3 months).
