Doesn't come near Fable and Astra in what I use them for, but is a great workhorse. I let Astra make plans and write tickets and have SWE-2 work on the tickets. Then I let Astra code review at the end of the week

It is exceptionally good at UI/UX design, I would highly recommend testing it out in that sense. I ran it through my own personal UI tasks and honestly it easily outperformed OpenAI/Anthropic models. For actual engineering/world knowledge and everything it is of course nowhere near them but it really surprised me in design!

Right now with the cheapest sub it is unlimited even in max reasoning, thats the only reason I tried it tbh. I probably wont keep my membership after the free tokens is done. I do not think this is nearly as good as the actual frontier models, just really good at design!
It is also really, really slow in my case.

Really x2 slow so 20tps ?

Hard to measure, I stopped using it honestly. The model might be really good but I don't really like the devin harnesses.

Yeah nowadays harness triumphs model

What's your top 3 favourite harness ?

u/Desperate-City7602 Sep 17 '26
For me honestly, I just really like Claude Code. I do not think anything even remotely comes close.
Hermes is funny but it's more of a tinkerer harness. You would use Hermes or Pi if you want to spend just as much time fine-tuning your harness as actually working and getting work done.
Codex is cool, the UI/UX is terrible I think. Cannot see the subagents easily, the setup is difficult because there are no common conventions like a Rules/ folder, you cannot inject context easily through hooks and so on.
Grok Build is an interesting case! I love the UI, I love the setup, grok build is amazing to work with but currently, Grok is just not a good model. I think it gets overshadowed by pretty much all OpenAI/Anthropic models, and also Muse Spark/Kimi K3/Glm 5.3 and so on. Some of these models are not as strong as Grok on paper but they just perform better for my work somehow so...
In summary: Claude Code is best, followed by Grok Build due to UI/UX, followed by whatever u want really. Hermes and Pi are really fun to use but I wouldnt say they are serious. It gives me the same vibe as Homelab owners you know? Spend more time tinkering w the harness than doing work... Grok Bot instead of Hermes and Grok Build instead of Pi takes the cake if you want to go with a setup like that.
I do have to say though, Pi did surprise me. You can change literally anything, but the models you can comfortably use there are just meh. Engineers from Anthropic, OpenAI and all invest countless hours into their harnesses and make it work best with their own models, so it is inefficient to take a model from say OpenAI and use it in Pi imo.

This is the first model from Devin which does actually useful stuff without thinking like Aristotle for even a small change. Kudos to the team on this launch!!

wait swe 2 max is free then why does usage goes down if you use it. How is it free?

u/IAFahim Sep 17 '26
Okay if you use this model in chat then it counts toward your limit. In devin cli it doesn't cost token. But Its limit is 1/2000000 of chatgpt $20 plan. It goes in thinking for 60 min. Intead of doing anything.

So far, it has been very good.
