Software engineering-native AI models have arrived: What Windsurf’s SWE-1 means for technical decision-makers
Windsurf's new SWE-1 AI models tackle the complete software engineering workflow, potentially reducing development cycles and technical debt.
It’s a challenge Windsurf(formerly Codeium) is taking on with a series of new frontier AI models it calls SWE-1 (software engineer 1) as part of the company’s Wave 9 update. Unlike general-purpose AI models that have been adapted for coding tasks, the SWE-1 family was built to address the full spectrum of software engineering activities. While SWE-1 isn’t positioned to replace foundation models from major labs, Windsurf claims it achieves frontier-class performance specifically for software engineering tasks.
