help Windsurf SWE-1 FAQ
What is Windsurf SWE-1 used for in Continue AI?
SWE-1 is presented as a coding-focused language model intended to help with software tasks such as explanations, edits, and code generation. The catalog description frames it as a retrieval-augmented extension, meaning external project context is supplied to improve answers.
Is Windsurf SWE-1 the same thing as the Windsurf editor?
No, SWE-1 refers to a model, while Windsurf is the coding environment made by the company behind it. A Continue integration would use the model through an extension or configured provider rather than turning Continue into the full Windsurf editor.
Does Continue AI need repository context for SWE-1 to be useful?
Repository context is important for coding questions because the model needs to see relevant files, symbols, and project conventions. Retrieval can improve a response, but developers still need to review generated changes before applying them.
Can SWE-1 be downloaded and run locally?
SWE-1 is generally offered as a hosted Windsurf model rather than an openly downloadable model package. Local availability therefore depends on the specific provider integration and account access, not simply on installing Continue.
