Not out yet. Cognition hasn't released SWE-2 Flash; the latest signal, on November 4, 2026: Cognition ships SWE-2 Flash in Devin, but the weights stay with partners. What we know so far: shipped Nov 4 in Devin Desktop and CLI (Cognition's blog), no public API and no public weights yet; post-trained from Thinking Machines' Inkling-Small (276B total, 12B active) with a new mid-training stage; Cognition says one-fifth SWE-2's price and about 3x its speed (200 vs 60 tok/s); Cognition's own table: 24.0 on FrontierCode 2.0 and 20.0 on Terminal-Bench 4.0, against 23.8 and 27.3 for SWE-2 and 3.2 and 0.9 for Inkling-Small; Cognition says it is building a program to share the weights securely with industry partners and researchers; this watch fires if an id reaches a public API or catalog. Swept every 60 seconds across provider catalogs. The moment it answers on a public API, alerts fire: a text or a call on paid plans the second it's confirmed, then a free Chrome push and email about 15 minutes later.
