👋 Hey Hunters!

Just dropped something big — Windsurf Wave 9 with the new SWE-1 models!

These AI models are built to help with real engineering work — not just writing code. You’ve got three options:

✅ SWE-1: Super powerful for heavy, complex tasks

✅ SWE-1 Lite: Lighter and faster for everyday dev work

✅ SWE-1 Mini: Blazing fast for when speed really matters

They’re all built into the Windsurf Editor, making things like debugging and code generation way easier. It’s like having an extra set of smart hands helping out.

Excited to see what you build with it! 🚀🛠️

This tool looks super powerful! I’m curious, can these three SWE-1 models be seamlessly switched during use? For example, if I’m working on a complex task with SWE-1 but need to quickly handle a simpler one, can I directly switch to SWE-1 Mini?

Impressive launch. Congratulations. We recently launched Mukh.1, a no-code platform for AI workflows and agents. Check it out.

"Wave 9" isn't the product name — it's SWE-1.

I haven't seen any model designed specifically for engineering. Sounds very promising. Is it live yet? I'd like to try it out.

I checked out the SWE-1 model family and it’s seriously impressive — even the lite and mini versions punch way above their weight. Getting near-frontier performance with this level of flexibility is a huge win for builders and researchers alike.
