Devin

Cognition

Autonomous software-engineering agent that runs in a cloud sandbox with its own shell, browser and editor, taking a task from specification through to a pull request. It is reached through a web interface, a CLI, a desktop app and an API, and runs on Cognition's own in-house model.

A previously cited SWE-bench figure is no longer on the page it came from, so the capability band rests on the vendor's own report and a third-party leaderboard row. Verified 2026-08-13 via the Devin documentation and Cognition's SWE-bench technical report.

Devin 2.0 scores 45.8% SWE-bench Verified and 35.6% Full on the coding-agent leaderboard, as a single agent with no human in the loop, and the figure is independently corroborated. That is mid-tier, well below the OpenHands anchor at the top of the field. Cognition's own earlier technical report gave 13.86% on a 570-problem subset. The Tembo post cited beside the leaderboard no longer carries the number, so the leaderboard is what the score rests on.
