Stealth Startup, Cognition, backed by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund and former-Twitter executive Elad Gil and Doordash co-founder Tony Xu, announced a fully autonomous AI software engineer called Devin. Devin can handle entire development projects end-to-end. It can write the code, fix bugs associated with it until final execution. This is the first offering of this kind and even capable of handling projects on Upwork.
They had a $21 million Series A led by Founders Fund. They have support of industry leaders including Patrick and John Collison, Elad Gil, Sarah Guo, Chris Re, Eric Glyman, Karim Atiyeh, Erik Bernhardsson, Tony Xu, Fred Ehrsam and so many more.
Devin already did real jobs on Upwork.
Seven Times Better Than Previous Best
Devin correctly resolves 13.86% of the issues end-to-end, far exceeding the previous state-of-the-art of 1.96%. Even when given the exact files to edit, the best previous models can only resolve 4.80% of issues. Devin was evaluated on a random 25% subset of the dataset. Devin was unassisted, whereas all other models were assisted (meaning the model was told exactly which files need to be edited).
Devin can train and fine tune its own AI models. Devin sets up fine tuning for a large language model given only a link to a research repository on GitHub.
Devin is a tireless, skilled teammate, equally ready to build alongside you or independently complete tasks for you to review.
With Devin, engineers can focus on more interesting problems and engineering teams can strive for more ambitious goals.
