Wow Windsurf's new SWE-1.5 model is shockingly good and ridiculously fast.

SWE-1.5 is giving every developer a perfect sweet spot between lightning speed and high accuracy.

It's even faster than Claude Haiku 4.5 -- the latest Claude model that was specially released for quick coding.

Yet almost as intelligent as Claude Sonnet 4.5 -- yet 13 times faster.

You're barely waiting for any thinking here -- near instantaneous responses.

And this isn’t just another “slightly better” model.

SWE-1.5 is frontier-scale -- it’s massive under the hood — like hundreds of billions of parameters — optimized for real coding work.

Windsurf built it from the ground up for software engineers who want an AI partner that can read, write, refactor, debug, and explain code across entire projects at rapid pace.

Because every delay adds up when you're using an assistant that plans, tests, and fixes code in multiple steps.

I mean of course it's still much faster than manual coding -- even if you use GPT-5 High that some people were complaining about the excessive thinking.

But SWE-1.5’s speed means those loop — generating, testing, adjusting — happen almost instantly.

You can keep your focus instead of staring at a loading indicator. Pair-programming with AI feels more natural and conversational.

Windsurf designed the SWE family (which now includes SWE-1.5) for the full development lifecycle. That means:

AI will eliminate 300 million jobs in the next 5 years.

Yours doesn't have to be one of them.
