The Devin team shipped SWE-1.7 on July 8, their strongest coding model yet. It’s not a chatbot and not an app — it’s the agentic model that drives Devin’s autonomous software engineering: give it a task, it reads the repo, edits files, runs the terminal, and closes the loop on long-horizon work.
The number that matters
42.3% on FrontierCode 1.1, right behind GPT-5.5 (43.0%) and Opus 4.8 (46.5%), and well ahead of GLM-5.2 and Composer 2.5. Around 81.5% on Terminal-Bench. The catch that makes it interesting: roughly $1.97 per task, a sliver of what the frontier models cost.
How they got there is the real story. Cognition took the open-source Kimi K2.7 base from Moonshot and ran RL post-training on top — inside the actual Devin harness, across four data centers on three continents. RL on top of someone else’s RL, standing on an open model instead of training from scratch.
How you use it
There’s no direct API. SWE-1.7 lives inside Devin — Web, Desktop, and CLI — served on Cerebras at 1000 tokens/second. That speed is the point for an agent doing dozens of async edits.
