Cognition reports mixed benchmarks for SWE-2 Flash, leaving developers to weigh the speed and cost gains against unproven coding performance.", "body_md": "Cognition launched SWE-2 Flash on November 4 — a 276-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts coding model that runs at 200 tokens per second, three times faster than its SWE-2 flagship, and costs one-fifth as much. It is available free for paid Devin users through November 30. The benchmarks are mixed, the post-trial pricing is undisclosed, and Cognition is keeping the weights private despite building the model on an Apache-licensed open base. Here is what developers actually need to know. Speed Is Real. Price Is a Ratio. The 3x speed claim holds up architecturally.
