Cognition introduces Devin, an AI agent that works on software engineering tasks
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.
AIWhy it matters: The post pairs Devin's end-to-end task demos with SWE-bench results against prior models, letting readers weigh the claimed capability against the evaluation setup.
