Devin
Decision note
Devin is Cognition Labs' cloud-based autonomous AI software engineer - it runs in a sandboxed environment with its own browser, terminal, and code editor and is built to complete full engineering tasks end-to-end rather than assisting in an IDE. Devin supports SSO, on-prem deployment, code review, and deploy integration. Pricing starts at $500/mo per subscription, targeting teams rather than individual developers.
Overview
Cloud-based autonomous AI software engineer that works in a sandboxed environment with a browser, terminal, and code editor to complete full engineering tasks.
Best LLMs for this agent
Cognition routes Devin to Claude Sonnet 4.6 as a documented default for autonomous task execution; Devin manages model choice internally.
Claude Opus 4.6 is the managed option Cognition uses when Devin needs stronger reasoning for end-to-end engineering tasks.
