Cognition AI, a months-old startup, has launched Devin, an AI software development assistant capable of writing entire programs, debugging code, and deploying projects with minimal human intervention. Backed by $21 million from investors including Peter Thiel and Founders Fund, Devin represents a significant advancement in AI-powered software engineering. Its development has been met with widespread acclaim, highlighting the founding team's high IQ and programming talent. The tool's abilities to perform massive coding jobs, fix bugs, and add new features autonomously have positioned it as a revolutionary force in the field. Additionally, Devin's impressive capabilities have been demonstrated through various tasks, including creating a full-color Etch-a-Sketch editor using only natural language prompts. This innovation has sparked discussions about the future of software engineering, the role of AI in the industry, and its potential impact on employment.
A couple notes from my @cognition_labs story today. I first met the CEO @ScottWu46 and his brother @WuNeal when they were teenagers in sport coding competitions. People talked about them with reverential awe. They helped make the US competitive against Russia, China and others.…
Admist speculation that AI is going to lead to mass unemployment, for now it has the opposite effect — pulling some of the most talented friends I have back into building. Congrats @lachygroom @brian_ichter @chelseabfinn @svlevine @hausman_k @QuanVng @SurajNair_1 on Pi! 🤖 https://t.co/A65FfI96Al
If you’re wondering how legit the Devin demo is, the Llama 2 benchmarking example from this video is a real prompt I tried a few weeks ago - and Devin nailed it in one shot. One of the coolest tools I’ve used in a long time. Big congrats to @cognition_labs team on the launch🔥 https://t.co/8SFAdXAUWS

Congrats @ScottWu46 @walden_yan @WuNeal & team on building the first AI programmer, setting a new SWE-bench record, and closing a Series A — all within a couple months of starting Cognition It’s been an honor to work together. Thanks for pulling me in for a very fun collab, even… https://t.co/85lElXybD2
In case you were wondering just how cracked the team @cognition_labs is... This was the CEO (@ScottWu46) 14 years ago. https://t.co/UqXTYGVKzO https://t.co/6GgKQmE7Pm
Cognition emerges from stealth to launch AI software engineer Devin https://t.co/w2SEhdA5LT
Hello world! We’re Physical Intelligence or Pi (like π).
3 of the 4 founders of Cognition have some variant of "human" engineer as their LinkedIn job title. And their goal is reasoning, not just a coder. Man, these guys really get it. @scottwu46 do you think the CEO role will always be human? :) @wuneal @walden_yan SH congrats https://t.co/3O5OxuHDzA
the future of AI x machines built by an incredible team! 🤖⚡️π thrilled for @Lux_Capital to partner with @lachygroom @chelseabfinn @svlevine @hausman_k @brian_ichter @QuanVng @SurajNair_1 + more :) https://t.co/8fgfBQO4za

I’m really excited to be starting a new adventure with multiple amazing friends & colleagues. Our company is called Physical Intelligence (Pi or π, like the policy). A short thread 🧵
Since cat is out of the bag, it’s time I share: I’ll be starting a new adventure with an incredible team of friends and long-time collaborators to take on the big challenge of robot learning at scale! It's called Physical Intelligence (Pi… or π, like the symbol). 🧵👇
🚨 Big news 🚨 Together with a set of amazing folks we decided to start a company that tackles one of the hardest and most impactful problems - Physical Intelligence In fact, we even named our company after that: https://t.co/t0eFmHoro9 or Pi (π) for short 🧵
I'm starting a company with @brian_ichter, @chelseabfinn, @svlevine, @hausman_k, @QuanVng, and @SurajNair_1 called Physical Intelligence (π.com!). We're bringing general-purpose AI into the physical world.

Devin looks super cool but I gotta give it a try before judging its efficacy too fast. Hope I can get access from @cognition_labs so I can do an honest, unbiased review of the product here and on YouTube 🤞 https://t.co/UtvrXF4B3A
Hey @cognition_labs, would love to test Devin! Can anyone get me access?
Congrats to the @cognition_labs team on today’s reveal! By far my favorite video that’s ever come up during founder diligence. Thanks for bringing me along again @ScottWu46 https://t.co/JmDgNOBj6C Skip to 0:47 and enjoy 2 min of internet gold.
👀 World’s first AI software engineer builds a full-color Etch-a-Sketch editor with nothing but natural language prompts 🧵👇 1. It writes all the code 2. It intercepts errors, debugs code 3. It iteratively builds out features 4. It deploys it to web, provides a link @gdb @sama https://t.co/QTNhIys3lH
. @cognition_labs has singlehandedly saved my X feed from an endless loop of Dune content. Devin is seriously impressive, and the IQ of the founding team is astronomical. I remember being a (very average) 14 year old Bay Area mathlete and hearing the legend of Steven Hao
i never believe recorded demos so I reached out to the @cognition_labs team for early access to try for myself and got it! will be sharing my unfiltered opinions on #devin here. 🧵🧵 1/n https://t.co/fotGHh6KlU
Every once in a while you see an early product that is so obviously a window into the future. The @cognition_labs team is a new applied AI reasoning lab. Never met such a density of programming talent - let’s go @ScottWu46 @WuNeal @walden_yan Steven Hao, and of course, Devin! https://t.co/G6aXbStn5i
Devin is single most impressive demo I've seen in the past decade. Worth a few minutes of your day to watch and get a glimpse of the future, it is surreal and deeply exciting. Proud of the @cognition_labs team (@ScottWu46, @tryramp alum @WuNeal, and many more!) https://t.co/Wyni7zWWCJ
This is one of the coolest products I’ve ever seen. @cognition_labs is building an AI software engineer (think pilot, not copilot) that actually works. Imagine being able to have your AI engineer work on fixing bugs in your sleep, or add a new feature, etc.! https://t.co/lbgEbqxdwO
Things are indeed about to get real, real weird. I spent the last couple of weeks using a coding assisstant AI that can create web sites, debug code and do massive coding jobs all on its own. It's name is Devin and it's backed by $21 million from Peter Thiel and others.…
Scoop: a start-up called Cognition AI has released what appears to be the most capable coding assisstant yet. Instead of just autocompleting tasks, it can write entire programs on its own. Is backed by Peter Thiel and Founders Fund, among others https://t.co/iRctE0KpWm
AI-powered software engineering helps us ship fast. With tools like @GitHubCopilot- thanks for featuring us! https://t.co/vfsLXz55Fx
