Today was one of the biggest days in cybersecurity reporting and incidents with PHP, node.js, Gitlab, and more

As such, we’ve open sourced an agent plugin that can be used to help patch these. These can also be used in Devin

We’re also giving significant credits to our Enterprise users so that they can focus on remediating these. Devin is uniquely effective here since it can validate that other parts of your applications are still working after the changes

Going forward stay safe, this problem won’t go away but you can put things in place to defend against it

@theabhimanyu @dabit3 @DevinAI @modal What do you need to move? Devin is pretty darn compatible with anything Claudia (oops, that's what my jealous wife calls her) does.. :-)
P.S. I'm in love with Devin too.

At Cog we joke that we always build out functions way too late but then suddenly become world class at them. Marketing is no exception - was completely nonexistent for us until pretty recently!

Brandon is one-of-a-kind and is the right leader to take our story global. Hopefully you've started to feel some of the impact of it already :)

I tried @cognition's @DevinAI desktop harness awhile ago and found it to be confusing... I tried Devin's cloud harness today and am honestly shocked at how good it is.

I'm really enjoying the way it handles live progress in the sidebar and access to prior Devin sessions is a gamechanger for how I like to throw my harness at prior sessions for context.

I find it's model selection UI to be great as well. Very simple to understand and the Fusion pattern is excellent for performance/cost.

The world needs far more software than it can build. Cognition exists to change that.

We’ve just raised over $2B at a $48B valuation, led by a16z, Accel, Founders Fund, General Catalyst, and Avenir.

Since our round in May, run-rate revenue has grown from $492 M to almost $900 M.

GPT-6 Astra is coming to Devin.

On FrontierCode 1.1, Astra performs within 0.4 points of Fable 5 at a 64% lower cost. It also sets a new SOTA on our internal testing benchmark, generating more comprehensive tests, clearer reports, and better video evidence.

[Cognition Japan @cognition_jp]

キャッシュ方式の変更により、Fableレベルのインテリジェンスを従来より54%低いコストで利用できるようになりました。これにより、Opusよりもさらに低コストになっています。

また、DevinのFusion harnessも、これまで以上に高性能かつ低コストになりました。FrontierCodeではFable 5.1と同等の性能を、47%低いコストで実現しています。

その仕組みをご紹介します：

Get your slippers on and join us for a walk around our SF headquarters, where we're doing it all with Devin. Even ordering our morning coffee.

@IAmPascio Overgeneralized and wrong.

[Mark Porter @MarkLovesTech]

@HowToPrompt__ Yeah, this is obvious. You say it like it’s some kind of discovery. This is exactly what Boris and the crew have been saying they were doing and all software engineers understand this. It’s exactly the right separation of concerns

[Mark Porter @MarkLovesTech]

@united I stand (and sit) with United here. If you want the seats pay or upgrade to them.

@UnityNewsNet You mean if Zelenskyy went in and captured Putin? I think you have your dictatorship backwards…

@Daniel_Hall @WallStreetApes And it’s also sadly showing you can’t spell. Sigh.

@KathleenWinche3 The electrical system on my 1970 302 mustang caught on fire and for 3 months before I coukd find a replacement wiring harness in a junk yard, I parked on downward facing hills and clutch-pop started every day. The beauty of the stock 3 speed in the mustang was that it was EASY
