Cognition unveils Devin: autonomous AI software engineer
- Cognition AI announced a $21M Series A funding and launched Devin, an autonomous AI software engineer.
- Devin outperforms on the SWE-Bench coding benchmark, plans and executes complex engineering tasks, and works autonomously on real engineering challenges.
Devin correctly resolved 13.86% of issues unassisted, significantly outperforming the previous state-of-the-art model, which achieved only 1.96% unassisted and 4.80% when told exactly which files to edit. - The Cognition AI team, comprised of elite competitive programmers, utilizes a blend of large language models and reinforcement learning for Devin's capabilities.
- Independent reviews highlight Devin's coherence and ability to handle complex tasks step-by-step, suggesting a potential shift in software engineering and AI development.
