Known issues we've tracked

COGNITION TOOK BOTH FRONTIER LAUNCHES ON DAY ONE -- AND SAID WHY, IN COST TERMS (2026-09-01 and 2026-09-03, vendor-primary via both model vendors): Cognition is quoted in **Anthropic's Fable 5.1 launch** and **OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra launch**, three days apart, committing to both on launch day. **On Fable 5.1, CPO and co-founder Walden Yan is specific about the economics rather than the benchmarks:** '**We're moving our Opus 5 traffic in Devin to Claude Fable 5.1 on launch day. It matched or edged out Fable 5 in our testing at a lower cost per task, and with the new cache read pricing a Fable-class model is finally economical for the workloads we'd kept on Opus, starting with code review.**' **That is an unusually useful quote, because it independently corroborates the one thing that actually changed in Fable 5.1's price: the cache read.** Fable 5.1's base rate is identical to Fable 5's ($10/$50 per 1M); only cache hits moved, from $1 to $0.25/MTok. Cognition is saying that single line was enough to move a production workload off Opus 5 -- exactly the agentic, repo-context-heavy shape that benefits most. **On Astra, SVP Research Silas Alberti says:** '**We're integrating GPT-6 Astra into Devin's harness on launch day, where it delivers state-of-the-art performance on our internal testing benchmark. Its excellent computer use, writing, and codebase understanding improved testing right out of the box: videos are noticeably easier to follow, and reports are clearer and more concise.**' **READ BOTH TOGETHER AND THE POSITIONING IS MODEL-NEUTRAL, NOT MODEL-LOYAL:** Devin is routing by cost-per-task and by capability fit, taking Anthropic's model for code review economics and OpenAI's for computer use and reporting quality -- in the same week Cursor is losing OpenAI access entirely. **CAVEAT ON SOURCING, AND IT MATTERS: both quotes are vendor-published launch testimonials, not independent evaluation.** They are cited here for what Cognition committed to and its stated reasoning, not as verified performance claims about either model.

DEVIN OUTPOSTS -- RUN DEVIN ON YOUR OWN MACHINES (2026-07-21, vendor post): Cognition split Devin's brain from its hands. You can now run **Devin Cloud sessions on any machine you operate** -- a GPU box, a VM inside your private network, a Kubernetes cluster next to internal services, or a Mac mini. The agent loop and inference stay in Cognition's cloud; all command execution, file edits and repo access happen on your infrastructure, and '**Your machines only dial out -- no inbound connectivity required.**' That unlocks Devin against private databases, internal APIs, proprietary toolchains and hardware that only exists inside your environment. Launch partners: **Modal, Cloudflare, Namespace, Daytona, E2B, NVIDIA Brev, NVIDIA OpenShell**. Outposts is the third hosting tier alongside multi-tenant and dedicated-tenant, and Cognition recommends it for 'tech-native organizations or small, trusted teams' already comfortable running remote dev infrastructure -- it is not a click-to-enable feature. No pricing disclosed. This is the answer to the single biggest enterprise objection to Devin: our code cannot leave our network. SWEEP NOTE: this post lives on **devin.ai/blog**, not cognition.com/blog, and the Cognition blog index does not list it -- which is why earlier sweeps missed it

SWE-1.7 -- COGNITION SHIPPED ITS OWN FRONTIER-CLASS MODEL (2026-07-08, vendor post): rather than only orchestrating other people's models, Cognition released 'SWE-1.7, the most capable model we've trained so far. It reaches frontier-level intelligence at a much lower cost, advancing the cost-performance Pareto curve.' Built with heavy RL post-training on a **Kimi K2.7** base. Vendor-reported: **42.3% on FrontierCode 1.1 Main at $1.97 cost per task**, served **via Cerebras at 1000 tokens/sec**, and 'available today in Devin (Web, Desktop, and CLI).' READ THE BENCHMARK WITH CARE: FrontierCode is Cognition's own benchmark, so a Cognition model scoring well on it is not independent evidence -- the durable claims here are the **speed (1000 tok/s)** and the **cost per task**, which are what actually change day-to-day use
2026-07-08•Cognition blog (cognition.com/blog/swe-1-7)
BENCHMARK PUBLISHED (2026-06-08): Cognition released **FrontierCode** -- a benchmark measuring 'code mergeability' (would a maintainer actually merge the generated code, not just does it pass tests). 150 tasks in nested subsets (Extended 150 / Main 100 / Diamond 50-hardest), scored on blocker-criteria pass rate + weighted rubric, 5 runs per task. Diamond results: Claude Opus 4.8 13.4%, GPT-5.5 6.3% (with 4x fewer tokens), Gemini 3.1 Pro 4.7%, Kimi K2.6 3.8% (open-source leader). Tasks are NOT public (contamination prevention); evals opening to model creators. Positions Cognition as a measurement authority for exactly the metric Devin sells on -- and the low absolute scores are a sober counterpoint to 'AI writes mergeable code today' marketing

COMPANY + PRODUCT (June 2026 cluster): **6/2 -- Windsurf renamed Devin Desktop** via OTA update; Cognition now ships one Devin family (Cloud / Desktop / Review) and Devin Cloud agent access starts on Desktop's $20 Pro plan (see the windsurf page for migration detail). **5/27 -- $1B+ raised at a $26B valuation** (Lux Capital, General Catalyst, 8VC lead; vendor-confirmed in Cognition's 'More Devins in More Places' post). **6/4 -- 'AI Productivity Guarantee'** announced for enterprise contracts. **6/9 -- Claude Fable 5 available in Devin on launch day.** Practical read: Cognition is consolidating brands and pushing downmarket -- the $20 entry point now buys both the IDE and cloud-agent access that used to be enterprise-gated

PRODUCT (2026-05-18 + 2026-05-21): Cognition shipped two material Devin features in 4 days. **5/18 Auto-Triage**: Devin observes incoming bug reports / incident channels, investigates with its tool surface (logs, deploy state, recent diffs), consolidates duplicate or related reports into a single thread, and generates triage-quality PRs as a default starting point. Cuts the manual on-call triage step entirely for well-scoped bug classes. **5/21 (TODAY) Windows VM support**: Devin can now build, run, and test code natively inside Windows VMs (was Linux-only sandbox prior). Cognition framing: 'the world's most mature developer ecosystem.' Material for any Windows-stack shop (.NET, WPF, Unity Windows builds, MAUI Windows) that previously could not use Devin for end-to-end build+test runs. Closes a gap vs Cursor cloud Dev Environments (5/13 ship) which is Docker-Linux only by default.

Top AIToolTier-ranked alternatives in the same category, ordered by our overall score.

A

GitHub Copilot

8.3

AI code assistant that lives in your editor -- autocomplete on steroids, now with the broadest model picker of any coding tool. **Three frontier models landed in four days: Claude Fable 5.1 (2026-09-01), Gemini 3.8 Flash (2026-09-03) and GPT-6 Astra (2026-09-04)** -- Astra and Gemini auto-enable under default model enablement, but **Fable 5.1 is OFF by default because it requires data retention** to run Anthropic's safety classifiers. **A four-model deprecation slate hits 2026-10-02** (Gemini 3.5/3.6 Flash, Kimi K2.7 Code, Claude Opus 4.7), and **Business/Enterprise card/PayPal customers move to upfront per-seat charging on 2026-10-01**. **Gemini 3.7 Flash landed 2026-08-13 and Grok 4.6 on 2026-08-14**, both across Pro, Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise and both still off by default for orgs. **Claude Opus 5 landed 2026-07-24** (Pro+, Max, Business, Enterprise) and **Grok 4.5 on 2026-07-28** (all five paid SKUs, up to 500K context, text and image input, low/medium/high reasoning effort). Both bill usage-based at provider list price, and both are off by default for Business/Enterprise until an admin enables the policy -- though that posture flips on **2026-08-26**, when new GA models covered by GitHub's data-retention agreement start auto-enabling for orgs. **MAI-Code-1.1-Flash landed 2026-08-11** (native vision, 0.25x premium-request multiplier, 73% below the model it replaces; automatic for Free/Student, manual elsewhere, off by default for orgs) and **MAI-Code-1-Flash retires 2026-09-10**. **GitHub Models (the separate free playground) was fully retired 2026-07-30.** Usage-based billing went live 2026-06-01 with AI Credits and token metering; code completions are still free; new signups for Student/Pro/Pro+/Max remain PAUSED

Cursor

8.3

AI-native code editor, agent-first in Cursor 3 -- **now a SpaceX subsidiary as of 2026-08-14, when the April acquisition option closed**. **OpenAI is cutting it off: on 2026-08-28 OpenAI notified SpaceX it will wind down the contract supplying OpenAI models to Cursor, proposed shutoff 2026-11-12, and says it is providing no future models to Cursor in the meantime** -- so the model-neutrality pitch is narrowing. Still home to **Grok 4.6 on day one (2026-08-12)**, following the Grok 4.5 model Cursor trained jointly with SpaceXAI on trillions of Cursor tokens (still $2/$6 per 1M, fast variant 2x, desktop/web/iOS/CLI/SDK), with Composer 2.5 as the fast lower-cost tier. Since 2026-08-11 the **Cursor Ultra and Teams Premium tiers also entitle you to xAI's Grok Bot**

A

Codex (OpenAI)

8.3

OpenAI's coding agent -- parallel tasks, PRs, and as of 2026-07-09 merged into the unified ChatGPT desktop app (Chat + Work + Codex, every plan incl. Free) with GPT-5.6 across the lineup. **GPT-6 Astra arrived 2026-09-03 with a rewritten Codex harness -- OpenAI claims 1.9x faster task completion vs GPT-5.6 Sol on Mind2Web**, though that figure combines the harness change with the model. GPT-5.4 and 5.4-mini left Codex on 2026-08-31

A

Google Antigravity

8.0

Google's agent-first AI IDE -- deploys up to 5 autonomous coding agents in parallel on a VS Code fork. Antigravity 2.0 (I/O 2026) is the runtime substrate for Gemini Spark, and the Antigravity CLI is now the official successor to Gemini CLI, which stopped serving consumer tiers on 2026-06-18

Roblox Assistant

8.0

Roblox Studio's agentic AI that plans, builds, and playtests games. Planning Mode (2026-04-16) + Mesh Generation + Procedural Models brings 3D-native creation to 70M+ daily creators

About Devin

Tier B (7.4/10). The most autonomous AI coding agent -- now a full product family: Devin Cloud, **Devin Desktop (the renamed Windsurf IDE, June 2 2026)**, and Devin Review. Cognition raised $1B+ at a $26B valuation (May 27). Recent shipments: **day-one support for both Claude Fable 5.1 (2026-09-01) and GPT-6 Astra (2026-09-03)** -- Cognition says it moved Devin's Opus 5 traffic to Fable 5.1 on launch day because the new cache-read pricing made a Fable-class model economical for code review. Claude Fable 5 support day-one (6/9), Auto-Triage (5/18), Windows VMs (5/21), Android Emulator (5/13)
