@ScottWu46 Picture from the acquisition all-hands 1 year ago today. 72 hours I will never forgot. What a ride. Thankful for your leadership. We're just getting started.

@joon_h_lee Whoa.

Conventional model routing sucks. It passes benchmarks but fails to write code you'd actually merge.

Introducing Devin Fusion, a new hybrid-model harness for agentic coding.

In testing, it reduces the cost of Fable-level intelligence by 35% and still feels good to use.

Security remediation is an engineering capacity problem. AI has collapsed the time to exploit, but defensive tools haven’t kept up.

Today we’re introducing Devin for Security: a set of workflows for reducing security debt, securing every release, and accelerating response

The terminal hasn’t changed much since the 1970s. What you do with it has.

Introducing Devin for Terminal: everything we learned building Devin, now as a local agent, available right in your shell.

And when your work outgrows your laptop, hand it off to the cloud.

Cognition is partnering with @MercedesBenz to accelerate software engineering across their global engineering teams, representing one of the most extensive deployments of AI software engineering in the automotive industry to date.

@ScottWu46 sat down with Katrin Lehmann, Mercedes-Benz CIO, to discuss the work:

@jeffwang @windsurf_ai @cognition_labs Well said.

Cognition has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Windsurf.

The acquisition includes Windsurf’s IP, product, trademark and brand, and strong business. Above all, it includes Windsurf’s world-class people, whom we’re privileged to welcome to our team.

We are also honoring their talent and hard work in building Windsurf into the great business it is today. This transaction is structured so that 100% of Windsurf employees will participate financially. They will also have all vesting cliffs waived and will receive fully accelerated vesting for their work to date.

At Cognition we have focused on developing robust and secure autonomous agents, while Windsurf has pioneered the agentic IDE. Devin + Windsurf are a powerful combination for the developers we serve. Working side by side, we’ll soon enable you to plan tasks in an IDE powered by Devin’s codebase understanding, delegate chunks of work to multiple Devins in parallel, complete the highest-leverage parts yourself with the help of autocomplete, and stitch it all back together in the same IDE.

Cognition and Windsurf are united behind a shared vision for the future of software engineering, and there’s never been a better time to build. Welcome to our new colleagues from Windsurf!

[Jeff Wang @jeffwang]

The last 72 hours have been the wildest rollercoaster ride of my career.

I’m beyond thrilled to share that @windsurf_ai is joining forces with @cognition_labs, the legendary team behind Devin, to reinvent the future of software development. Windsurf built the leading in-IDE agentic experience, and Cognition pioneered the leading autonomous coding agent. Together, we’re going to redefine the future of software development.

I’m overwhelmed with excitement and optimism, but most of all, gratitude. Trying times reveal character, and I couldn’t be prouder of how every single person at Windsurf showed up these last three days for each other and for our users.

To our new teammates at Cognition: we at Windsurf feel incredibly lucky to be joining a team that shares our vision, our deep commitment to our users, and - most importantly - our values.

Let’s go win.

@cognition_labs The definition of leadership. The future is BRIGHT 🚀🚀🚀
