Cognition Launches SWE-1.7 in Devin AI Agent, Claiming Near-Frontier Level Coding Scores at a Discount

SMRTR summary

Cognition launched SWE-1.7 on July 8, a new model powering its Devin AI software-engineering agent, claiming competitive benchmark scores including 42.3% on FrontierCode 1.1 Main and a $1.97 cost per task. The scores are competitive but not top-of-class, and since Cognition owns the benchmark, engineering teams should run private pilots measuring acceptance rates, reviewer time, and total cost per merged PR before committing.
