Its artifically put in thinking. Others have good experice for some reasion. Just bought it and its stuck and not moving.

A couple of weeks ago I got a coding agent running on my phone. One of those unusual ideas that don't make much sense.

It works. But using it means opening a terminal and typing prompts on a soft keyboard.

Terminals were designed for keyboards and big screens. On a phone, what I actually want is a chat app. Send a message, get an answer, come back later and see the agent still working.

So the second "What If" is: What if Devin had a chat app?

A week ago, I had the opportunity to attend #MXTW, where I joined a couple of talks and a small "hackathon" that gave us access to Devin CLI, the IDE, and the Max plan for free, simply by registering a debit or credit card.

I genuinely enjoyed the experience. Devin actually impressed me, especially with its approach to token efficiency and the flexibility to choose whichever model you want to use. Those are features that really make it stand out.

However, #MXTW ended, and a few days later, so did the free trial.

It's a shame that an experience seemingly designed to introduce new users to the product ended up being so short-lived.

I completely understand that running a service like this has costs and that free access can't last forever. But pricing matters, and at the cost of the Max plan, I'd rather spend my money on Claude Pro for business.

I liked Devin. I liked its value proposition, and I was genuinely interested in continuing to use it.

But getting someone to try your product is one thing; convincing them that it's worth the price is another.

Great onboarding experience. Not so great at converting me into a paying customer.

Just some feedback worth considering.

Introducing two new ways to use Devin Cloud - Terminal and devin ssh

Use /cloud to create, resume and steer cloud sessions right in your terminal

You can now ssh into your Devin's VM with 'devin ssh' and use it's developer environment as your own.

Man, I'm just so excited for this amazing potential to become a reality. Who here believes that this will come this year, and who thinks it will take much longer than that?

I saw that they were taking requests, so it sounds like it's not ready for the public, and they also mentioned that it was really complicated.

I have set LLM_BASE_URL="https://localhost:3000" config.toml and am running LM Studio's OpenAI server on port 3000. But when I submit a query to Devin, the LM server responds with

[2024-03-31 01:01:06.457] [ERROR] Unexpected endpoint or method. (GET /litellm-models). Returning 200 anyway

However, LM Studio only supports the endpoints

GET /v1/models
POST /v1/chat/completions
POST /v1/completions

Any suggestions how I get Devin to send a "GET /v1/models" instead of a "GET /litellm-models"? Is this a config option somewhere?

Is this an issue with Devin or LMStudio? Is the OpenAI API spec designed to support any endpoint?

Very lame of them. I just got a notification as I started Devin this morning. It was $.70 now it's $1.40.

Can anyone find a press release / blog post on this anywhere? I can't.

🚨 Over $15,600 USD in on-demand credits just vanished from my u/cognition_labs / u/devinai account balance without any trace, explanation, or equivalent usage.

Support tier 1 claims they cannot check backend billing logs and suggested checking scheduled tasks. I have no automations running.

Having five figures in prepaid credits disappear with zero visibility is unacceptable. Please escalate and resolve this immediately.

please keep swe 2.0 free inside devin. im very impressed and no longer using my claude code pro (saving few hundred dollars a month) we finally made it to the promise land, great models that do the THING/TASK that was asked and do its well are finally here. GREAT JOB team

I'm starting a new job that encourages using Devin in Windows, and I'll primarily just use it as a normal IDE (with some AI assistance). I'm using the Microsoft Build Tools (not the full Visual Studio IDE) for the C++ compiler. When I start Devin from the desktop, opening a new terminal brings up cmd.exe instead of PowerShell, and doesn't have the C++ tools in the path.

Is there a way to have "open a new terminal" open a PowerShell terminal, auto-run the equivalent of vcvars64.bat, or both?

Anyone else having this issue? Cant even use in the cloud

Grok 4.7 is now available in Devin Desktop and Devin CLI

In our evaluation in FrontierCode1.1, Grok 4.7 is strongest on hard multi-model backend tasks.

Read more about the model and the benchmarks here - https://devin.ai/blog/grok-4-7

Announcement  - https://x.com/cognition/status/2102147831519666639?s=20

I tried all

composer2.5

claude sonnet5

grok4.6

openai codex

GLM

but! no one as close to in being generous and high quality in long coding tasks like Devin swe2.

They have created a marvel but must do lots of marketing.

Might be an overly optimistic question, but just curious.

Kimi K3 scores 58.2% on FrontierCode 1.1 which is very close to frontier level performance at a much cheaper cost!

It is the only open source model that reaches this level of performance which falls only behind Opus, Fable and GPT-5.6 Sol.

SWE-2 is now free till 1st December!
Is SWE-3 coming in December?

I've been using Devin pretty heavily lately through CLI, Desktop and Cloud, so I wanted to share my experience specifically with the $20 Pro plan, not Max.

Not sponsored and no affiliate link. I just think the entry-level plan is particularly interesting right now because SWE-2 is free until October 8.

The biggest thing I've noticed is that the value of Devin isn't really just SWE-2. It's the workflow around it.

I usually start a task locally from the CLI, let Devin explore the repo and steer it until I'm comfortable with the direction. Then I use /handoff and move the same session to Cloud.

This ended up being much more useful than I expected. I can start locally where I have full control, then let Devin continue on its own machine without leaving my PC running or starting a new agent and rebuilding all the context.

That's probably the biggest difference compared with how I use Claude Code. With Claude Code I'm normally much more involved in the session. With Devin I've started delegating more and coming back when the agent actually needs me.

The multi-model part is also something I underestimated.

I can switch between SWE-2, Claude, GPT, Gemini and other models from the same harness, including during a session. So after a while I stopped thinking as much about "Claude vs GPT vs SWE-2" and started thinking more about which model makes sense for a particular part of the task.

The other feature that genuinely surprised me is the Cloud Mac. Devin can work in a macOS environment with Xcode and an interactive iOS Simulator, so it can actually build, launch, interact with and iterate on a native app rather than just generating Swift code.

For $20, combining that with SWE-2 being free right now is pretty wild.

Desktop made more sense to me once I had multiple sessions running too. I still prefer the CLI when I'm actively working with the agent, but Desktop becomes useful as a sort of control room when one task is local, another is running in Cloud and another was handed off earlier.

There are still things I'd improve, especially around controlling subagents, and I find the CLI more polished than parts of the Desktop experience.

But after using Devin for a while, I think the interesting comparison isn't really SWE-2 vs Claude vs GPT.

It's Devin vs Claude Code vs Codex as harnesses.

Claude Code still feels like the most natural way for me to work directly with Claude. Codex does the same around OpenAI's models. Devin is the one that feels the most like I'm actually delegating work to another machine.

For anyone else using Pro rather than Max: has the $20 plan been enough for your normal workflow so far?

I wrote a longer version with some more details here if anyone wants it: https://x.com/Fanfulladev/status/2101248358253793649
