Devin 2.0 is here: Cognition slashes price of AI software engineer to $20 per month from $500 - Carl Franzen, Venture Beat

The Founders Fund-backed San Francisco startup Cognition AI (also known as Cognition Labs) made a name for itself out of nowhere in early 2024 with the release of Devin, its AI-powered software engineer that could work alongside human developers and carry out tasks autonomously through natural language instructions given to them by a human dev through a prompt window or even separate third-party communication app Slack. Cognition itself has since its inception leveraged other models, namely OpenAI’s GPT-4 and GPT-4o series, to power Devin. Now today, Cognition is hitting back with Devin 2.0, an updated version of its agent-native software development platform. It’s unclear what foundation model is powering this version.
