Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this appears to require Devin to use? I'm disappointed to see I need to use a bespoke platform to interact with this agent, to the point that I probably won't be trying it.

SWE-2 is free to use for users like yourself for the next month, and almost all usage should be supported via our CLI (https://docs.devin.ai/cli)

Disclaimer: I work at Cognition, although was not involved in SWE-2

But I don't want to use your CLI. I already have my own harnesses and workflows. The friction is too high to "just try out" a new model like this. It would be preferable if I can evaluate it over, say, open router like all the other models and then decide from there if it's worth downloading a bespoke tool chain for only 1 lab's models

It’s preferable to keep inference capacity available for users using main Devin products than openrouter atm. Might change in the future. Even OAI is cutting off new plan signups to keep up with demand.

I just gave it a try and it doesn't appear to be free, it used up some of my on demand usage. It does say 75% off though. Seems like for Pro subscribers SWE-1.7 is free, maybe SWE-2 is free for them?

Did you use it via the CLI or Desktop? It's 75% off in cloud and free to run on your device.

Oh I tried in cloud. I'll give it another shot

No it still requires Pro in the CLI. Only free model is SWE-1.6 slow

Your own CLI? Not even a /v1/chat/completions API? Is your business model based on pretending LLMs are not an interchangeable commodity already?

they are an agent company not a model provider, is this that difficult to comprehend?

Heads up: it doesn't appear to be available on the Devin CLI (for me as a free user).

Hey man, how’s the Poke SOC2 audit going? Must be any day now that it’ll be finished, right?

Thanks for pointing that out; I wouldn't have found out about it otherwise. I bought the 20$ subscription and have been using SWE-2 for a few days now, and it's actually good. I don't think it's Fable-class, but SWE-2 Max feels substantially better than K3 and on par with Opus 5 Max.

IMO, a great achievement.

If its weights are open, that covers a multitude of other sins. Sufficiently-strong performance on the part of the new model would justify adapting existing tools to work with it.
