- R · What Makes It Special
- Windsurf's first in-house model family, launched in May 2025 and built for the whole software engineering process rather than coding alone: SWE-1 (tool-call reasoning near Claude 3.5 Sonnet at a lower serving cost), SWE-1-lite (unlimited for all users) and SWE-1-mini (powers Windsurf Tab).
