Devin
Cognition's autonomous AI software engineer. Runs in its own cloud sandbox and aims to complete tickets end-to-end.
The score on this page is a provisional research-based estimate. No controlled benchmark suite has been completed for Devin yet, so this verdict cannot be cited as final proof and Devin is not eligible for "Verdict Certified" status. When a verified run lands, it will appear in the Evidence Timeline below and the status badge above will switch to "Verified".

Verdict
Most autonomous coding agent in the category, but reliability and cost-per-outcome are real risks. Independent SWE-bench-Verified-style results vary widely. Placeholder pending controlled run.
- ✓Tickets that can be defined upfront and left to run
- ✓Teams willing to babysit a remote sandbox
- ✓PR drafting on well-tested codebases
- ✕Tightly-scoped real-time edits
- ✕Privacy-sensitive code that cannot leave a managed sandbox
- ✕Operators who won't review every PR
Failure modes we'd watch
- ⚠Confidently submits PRs that don't actually compile or pass tests
- ⚠Long autonomous loops can run up significant cost
- ⚠Sandbox state divergence from production environments
