Devin, the viral coding AI agent, gets a new pay-as-you-go plan
Cognition, the startup behind the viral AI programming tool Devin, has entered A new cheap plan to stimulate registrations.
When Cognition released Devin last year, the tool quickly blew on social media because of its ability to perform certain software development tasks autonomously. It soon became clear that Devin struggled with more complex coding work. Nevertheless, the Tool LOF of AI founders, including Pertlexity CEO Aravind Srinivas and the profile of the cognition, generated considerably.
Devin was launched in the general availability for teams from the eye-water price of $ 500 per month. On Thursday – striking weeks after the company Reportedly Increased hundreds of millions of dollars in fresh capital cognition introduced an entry option that costs $ 20, then transitions to pay-as-you-go-go.
The pay-as-you-go plan can be quite expensive, depending on how someone uses Devin. $ 20 nets around 9 ACUs, Cognition’s jargon for computer credits. (ACUS costs $ 2.25 on the $ 20 plan, an increase of the $ 2 that they cost on the $ 500 subscription.) Cognition says that 15 minutes is “active devin work” equal to about 1 ACU. 9 Acu’s nets only around 2.25 hours of work, because of that statistics – not much if you are dealing with solid code bases.
But cognition claims that Devin today – Devin 2.0 – much has improved compared to the release of December. Just like with Github’s Copilot tool, Devin can now help generate plans for coding projects, and answering questions about code with quotes and making “wikis” for code with documentation.
Silas Alberti, a member of the Devin development team, also told WAN that Devin is now “being done twice as much work as before.”
Those claims can best be taken with a grain of salt. Even the best code-generating AI today the tendency to introduce security vulnerabilities and bugs, Have found studiesDue to weaknesses in areas such as the ability to understand the programming logic. A recent evaluation of Devin Discovered that it successfully completed only three of the 20 tasks.
