Exploring SWE-1: Windsurf's New Models for Software Engineering

About this video

In this video, I take a look at SWE One, a new series of models introduced by the Windsurf team. Windsurf has rapidly progressed, recently releasing their AGI IDE and gaining interest from OpenAI for a potential $3 billion acquisition. The video covers the three different SWE models: SWE One, SWE One Light, and SWE One Mini. These models are not solely focused on coding but support the entire software engineering process, including directory traversal, terminal commands, and more. Benchmarks show SWE models performing close to or better than models like Claude 3.5 and Claude 3.7. The presenter demonstrates building a full-stack application using these models, highlighting both their capabilities and current limitations, like occasional errors and slower processing times. Despite some flaws, the models show promise, leading to a discussion on their potential and the future direction of competitors like Cursor.
