Speed is the next frontier! Very excited to be at the forefront of this; programming looks very different when agents can output code faster than you can think — lots of new paradigms/UX to figure out.

Today we’re releasing SWE-1.5, our fast agent model. It achieves near-SOTA coding performance while setting a new standard for speed. Now available in @windsurf.

One of the many things that attracted me to Cognition is that it is a true swing for the fences bet. Tough problem, big ambitions, limitless TAM. We’re still very early, so much more to build!

We’ve raised over $400M at a $10.2B post-money valuation to advance the frontier of AI coding agents. The round was led by Founders Fund with other existing investors including Lux, 8VC, Neo, Elad Gil, Definition Capital, and Swish VC all doubling down. We’re also joined by new investors including Bain Capital Ventures and D1 Capital. Two of our early investors, Christian Lawless of Conversion Capital and Emily Cohen of Neo, have even joined our team full-time.
