Cognition introduces Devin, an AI agent that works on software engineering tasks
Introducing Devin, the first AI software engineer
AISummary
Cognition introduces Devin as an AI software engineer that can plan and execute complex engineering tasks with a shell, code editor, and browser. On SWE-bench, Devin resolved 13.86% of issues end-to-end, versus a previous state-of-the-art of 1.96%, on a random 25% subset of the dataset. Devin is in early access, with access available through a waitlist.
