Summary
Cognition’s March 2024 launch post introduces Devin, which it calls the first AI software engineer: an agent that plans and executes complex engineering tasks with a shell, code editor and browser in a sandboxed compute environment, reporting progress and accepting feedback as it works. The post illustrates this with demonstrations ranging from building and deploying apps to fixing bugs in open-source repositories, reports that Devin resolved 13.86% of issues end-to-end on a random 25% subset of SWE-bench against a previous state of the art of 1.96%, and describes Cognition as an applied AI lab focused on reasoning.
