We've updated FrontierCode 1.1 to reflect new discounts for GPT-5.6 Terra and GPT-5.6 Luna. With these new costs, the GPT-5.6 series sits on the pareto curve of price/performance efficiency.

Cognition is acquiring @Interaction, the makers of Poke.
If you've ever used Poke, you know why we're so excited.
Introducing Devin Outposts: run Devin on any machine.
Your Mac mini, a GPU box in your lab, a VM inside your private network, or a Kubernetes cluster next to your internal services.
SWE-1.7 is free for all paid users for the next month.
We're also launching SWE-1.7 Lightning, served on
@cerebras at 1000 tokens per second!
Our RL training spans four datacenters across three continents, combining our own GPUs across multiple clusters with additional compute from inference providers like @FireworksAI_HQ.
Only the trainer needs tight collective communication. Rollout inference was distributed, with engines syncing through compressed weight diffs in object storage.

Introducing SWE-1.7, the most capable model we’ve trained yet.
It scores within a few points of the strongest frontier models at a fraction of the cost, and is now available at 1000 tok/s.
RL is not hitting its limit: after refining our recipe, we keep seeing gains as we scale

Introducing Devin Security Swarm
A more cost effective and accurate way to find security vulnerabilities in complex codebases, based on a new architecture: Agentic MapReduce.
Watch Devin Fusion work:
The sidekick model handles fetching information and skimming sources.
The frontier model makes a plan for implementation, then delegates well-scoped sub-tasks to the sidekick with its own cached context.

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.

Congratulations to @axliu42 on receiving the ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award for his work on learning-theoretic foundations for understanding quantum systems.
Allen joined Cognition's research team this week while continuing as a professor at NYU. We’re honored and excited to work with him.

Claude Fable 5 is now available in Devin.
Fable 5 earns the #1# spot on FrontierCode, our benchmark for real-world engineering tasks that grades mergeability and quality:
Introducing FrontierCode: a coding eval that raises the bar for difficulty & quality. Each task took 40+ hrs of work by leading open-source maintainers.
Models write sloppy code that works but isn’t maintainable. Our eval is first to measure: would you actually merge this code?

AI should earn its keep. Introducing the AI Productivity Guarantee.
If Devin delivers less engineering value than you’re paying for, Cognition will fund your usage until it does, up to $10 million.
It’s time for the AI industry to stop maximizing tokens and start maximizing productive output.

Introducing Devin Desktop.
Manage fleets of local and cloud agents from one surface. Plan, delegate, review, and ship without leaving your editor.
Introducing Devin Auto-Triage: Your AI first-responder with long-term memory.
Devin can monitor incoming bugs, alerts, and incidents, investigate them, and come back with context, next steps, or a PR.

Beau Rothrock had been at @AngelList for two months when he walked into a Redshift-to-Snowflake migration in deep trouble, already two months behind schedule.
He had a 5-week window to migrate all 14,000 dashboards and reports AngelList runs on.
He could've asked for three more engineers and four more months. Instead, he turned to Devin.

We've created comprehensive documentation of the latest X algorithm via DeepWiki:
Engagement parameter weights are still private (so we don't know the relative value of a like or reply), but one takeaway: maximizing dwell time helps boost posts.

This brings the full Devin loop to Android development.
Devin can use the AVD to reproduce issues, inspect app behavior, make changes, and verify them in the emulator before handing work back for review.
Work with Devin on Android today:

Devin can now build and run Android apps.
We added Android Virtual Device (AVD) support for Devin’s machine, which means Devin can now autonomously build, launch, and test Android apps.

An abbreviated history of Cognition...
Scott Wu is the co-founder of Cognition AI, one of the fastest-growing companies in history. He’s also the greatest competitive programmer the US has ever produced. You may have seen him doing impossible card tricks and mental math.
You’ve never seen him asked about weed, Michael Jordan, cancer, and human consciousness over a punnet of strawberries. That is what Colossus editor-in-chief Jeremy Stern did on a recent visit to San Francisco.
For those less familiar with @ScottWu46: In 2nd grade, he entered a math competition for 7th graders, lost, and was so furious he still fumes about it 20 years later. The next year he entered the 9th-grade division as a 3rd-grader and got a perfect score.
Then he won first place at the US national middle-school math competition and three straight gold medals at the International Olympiad in Informatics, where he became the greatest American gold-medalist and coach in history.
Most of the people running the biggest AI companies met as teenagers, competing for their countries on international math and science teams. OpenAI’s Greg Brockman, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, Meta’s Alexandr Wang, to name just a few.
Most agree that the von Neumann among them was Scott Wu.
In November 2023, a few weeks after his mother died of lung cancer, on the day Sam Altman was fired from OpenAI, Wu founded his own AI company: Cognition.
He was 26 and saw earlier than almost anyone that AI would converge on agents that work in the background, 24/7, like coworkers. He shipped Cognition’s AI software engineer Devin in March 2024. It worked poorly, and he took intense public criticism for it.
Now, in its first 18 months of service, Devin has generated $445 million of revenue run rate and usage has doubled every eight weeks. The US Army, Goldman Sachs, and Mercedes-Benz are all customers. Cognition is raising at a valuation around $25 billion.
@JeremySternLA sat down with Wu, the emperor of the nerds, to ask the questions we’d all ask one of the smartest people in America—building the most consequential technology of our generation—if we ever got the chance.
As well as MJ and weed, they talk about the cluster of competitive math prodigies behind so much of AI, what makes us human when AGI arrives, and why Wu believes he was put on this earth to teach AI how to code.
