SWE-1.6

SWE-1.6 is a Cognition model with Not verified context, Not verified in / Not verified out per million tokens, last verified October 2, 2026. Open weights: not verified. Status: Superseded; the current pick is SWE-2. Public-board scores are linked to the publisher; vendor-only figures stay in the watch-out, not on the board.

A previous-generation software-engineering agent model, introduced with an emphasis on interactive model behaviour.

Pricing tiers: In-product model access and billing vary by plan/account. Exact current model-specific rates were not recovered; the authenticated List Models response is the account source of truth. Historical free/speed offers are not current generic API prices.

  • Comparing an enabled previous-generation Devin agent

Watch out

Exact context/output caps, stable generic inference API ID, downloadable weights/licence and model-specific numeric parameter count are unverified. The authenticated List Models endpoint returns account model-menu UIDs and plan-specific pricing; its placeholder examples are not live prices or general inference endpoints. Do not inherit base-model, harness or sibling benchmark scores; vendor speed/evaluation claims are not independent cross-model results. The launch's three-month free offer is historical, not a current free-access promise. The earlier Preview checkpoint and final model are distinct.
