Timeline (last 90 days)
Russell Kaplan, president of Cognition (the 26-billion-dollar company behind Devon), believes that the question 'which model is best?' is itself completely wrong, and what matters is what is built around the model — the agent framework, the evaluation loop, the recovery paths.
Devin's Dreaming is a process that runs asynchronously every day to optimize Devin's index of user memories, rather than optimizing the memory content itself.
Cognition's Devin has a mechanism called Memory that can retain awareness of the user's working habits across sessions.
Cognition's Devin can now connect to any personal ChatGPT subscription plan (Go, Plus, or Pro), with Devin's GPT model calls deducted directly from the ChatGPT plan's quota
Cognition claims that compared with the previous-generation servers, Rubin delivers up to a 4.8x improvement in tokens processed per second
Cognition has become the first customer to run its coding agent Devin on NVIDIA Vera Rubin servers
The Vera Rubin servers on which Cognition runs Devin are rented from cloud provider CoreWeave
Devin's pricing page states that SWE-2 is free to use in its desktop application and command line until October 16
CoreWeave has not yet disclosed the price of Rubin during its limited-availability period, and Cognition's rate is also private, so the actual savings remain unknown
SWE-2 is a coding model built by Cognition on top of Moonshot AI's Kimi K2 model, released on September 10, with a primary focus on cost efficiency
