When you want the 2026-03-10 catalog SKU, not a later rename.

No independent row for this SKU

No independent board lists this exact SKU as of 2026-08-19.

No other card from this lab carries an independent board row either, so there is no sibling worth pointing at.

Boards checked: DeepSWE official (2026-08-13), Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, vals.ai hero index. Every card that does carry a row is on the coding leaderboard.

DeepSWE

No official DeepSWE mini-swe-agent row for this identity on the public board we fetched.

When not to use it

Trust this before you buy

  • When you need a Continuum-hosted SKU from this lab, use the hosted card on this hub instead of this catalog row.
  • $0.25 in / $2.00 out per 1M on the 2026-08-19 OpenRouter row. Context 262,144 in / 131,072 out.
  • Need a denser published sibling on this hub? Seed 2.1 Turbo is the card already on the cluster.
  • When the job needs a published DeepSWE, Artificial Analysis, or vals.ai chip: this page does not invent one. Those boards did not list this exact SKU on 2026-08-19.

What you can open

Lab card and OpenRouter listing only. No Hugging Face Files button, because there is no official repo to point at.

FAQ

Why does the lab blog disagree with DeepSWE or Scale?

Lab posts pick a harness, an effort, a split, and sometimes a private eval set. DeepSWE publishes the official mini-swe-agent row with cost, tokens, and steps. Scale SWE-bench Pro only counts when the public shared-harness board has a row we can fetch. A higher lab number is usually a different test, not a better one.

OpenAI-compatible call

No Continuum hosted id is verified for this model, so this page does not invent a curl target. Use the first-party API or the OpenRouter slug bytedance-seed/seed-2.0-lite.
