Cognition Labs, an artificial intelligence startup has unveiled Devin, an advanced AI model designed to function as a software engineer.
What are the capabilities of Devin?
Devin demonstrates strong capabilities like passing practical engineering interviews from top AI companies and will complete real jobs on platforms like Upwork.
Tools and interface of Devin
Devin has been equipped with a code editor, shell, and sandboxed browsing environment, which could undertake complex engineering tasks independently.
Devin’s versatility in tasks
Devin could easily tackle various tasks, from completing end-to-end coding projects to building and deploying websites and apps. It further addresses bugs and features requested in open-source repositories and contributes to mature production repositories.
Performance Metrics of Devin
Devin has scored an impressive 13.86 per cent on the SWE-bench coding benchmark, and it has outperformed other major AI models like GPT-4 and Claude 2. Furthermore, Devin will resolve the issues unassisted, unlike other models which require guidance.
Verification and future releases
While Cognition claims that they await verification as the platform is not publicly available. The startup has promised a detailed technical report soon, shedding light on Devin's architecture and capabilities.
