Models

SwishX's model history, and how to pick a version.

The reasoning model behind every SwishX request — the thing that decodes briefs, harnesses context, links claims, routes to a downstream generator, and verifies output — is what people mean when they say "the SwishX API."

SwishX names each model generation after a Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine, rotating to a new name every two or three versions:

GenerationVersionsNamed for
Behring1.0–1.5Emil von Behring, 1901 laureate
Ross2.0–2.5Ronald Ross, 1902 laureate
Finsen (current)3.0–Niels Ryberg Finsen, 1903 laureate

Current version

finsen-3.2

Pass this as the model field on any request. Sharper claim-grounding accuracy and lower multi-model routing latency than 3.1 — see the changelog for what changed.

Choosing a version

Most integrations should just use the current version and move forward as new ones ship — the request/response shape has been stable since Finsen 3.0. Pin an older version only if:

  • You've validated a specific version's compliance behavior for a submission already in flight, and don't want generation behavior to shift mid-review.
  • You're comparing output quality across versions before upgrading a production integration.

  }'

Deprecation policy

Versions prior to Finsen 3.0 (Behring 1.0 through Ross 2.5) predate the current reasoning pipeline and are no longer accessible for new requests — they're listed in the changelog for historical context only. Any finsen-3.x version remains callable indefinitely; there's no forced migration off 3.0 or 3.1 once you're on them.

Keyframe model

Video generations that use keyframe-first rendering (see Model routing) also invoke a paired image model for the opening still, finsen-3.2-keyframe. You don't call this directly — it's invoked automatically as part of a /v1/videos request — but its own rate limits are tracked separately.
