New artificial intelligence software engineer from Cognition: Devin

Generative AI initiative Cognitionnew artificial intelligence software engineer introduced Devin. Devin takes the capabilities of software-focused AI assistant GitHub Copilot one step further. Devin autonomously completing software engineering tasks beyond It can also train its own artificial intelligence models. When viewed this way, we can define Devin as an artificial intelligence product that can work on its own rather than an artificial intelligence-supported assistant.

Devin has its own terminal, code editor and browser. Devin makes a detailed plan to carry out the commands you give at the beginning and then implements the plan step by step. Devin can easily handle coding and data research tasks. with the ability to debug errors stands out. At this point, the vehicle needs to execute the commands. information by searching the internet with one’s own browser. Let us state that you can access it.

Devin, can write his own code and fix errors in the code ve can test the code. At the same time, the vehicle can report its progress in real time. Thus, users can regularly obtain information about the progress of the tool. If users see that there are steps being taken incorrectly in the process, they can add another command to the chat box. In this way, users can ask Devin to correct the mistake in question.

Devin just for now in private preview. Those curious about Devin can contact Cognition via email to try the tool. The product could create a significant shift in employment in developer teams upon its launch. For example, engineering teams can delegate certain projects to Devin. According to Bloomberg writer Ashley Vance, who had access to Devin, Devin said: Created a Pong-like game and a website in 20 minutes. It takes more time for the vehicle to perform more complex tasks. In short, it is possible to say that software departments will also join the workforce changing with artificial intelligence.

How Devin compares to other AI assistants on code generation performance of 13.86 percent attracts attention with. According to the company, while other assistants are told what to do through commands to complete the tasks, Devin manages the process completely independently. Last month, GitHub launched an artificial intelligence assistant for enterprise companies. GitHub launched Copilot Enterprise. In the emerging picture, GitHub will need to come up with new products and tools in order to compete with Devin.

Finally, let us note that Cognition received an investment of $21 million in the A series investment round led by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund. The startup is currently looking to expand its capacity and provide early access to more users for Devin.
