Devin: The Autonomous AI Coding Assistant

Meet Devin, the world's first fully autonomous AI software engineer and coding assistant. Devin is a tireless, skilled teammate that can build alongside you or independently complete tasks for you to review, allowing engineers to focus on more interesting problems and enabling teams to strive for more ambitious goals.

Devin's Capabilities in AI Coding and Software Engineering

• Long-term reasoning and planning to plan and execute complex engineering tasks requiring thousands of decisions
• Ability to recall relevant context, learn over time, and fix mistakes
• Equipped with common developer tools like shell, code editor, and browser within a sandboxed environment
• Real-time collaboration, reporting progress, accepting feedback, and working together on design choices

AI Coding Examples: Devin's Versatility

• Learning unfamiliar technologies like ControlNet to produce images with concealed messages
• Building and deploying interactive web apps like the Game of Life simulation
• Autonomously finding and fixing bugs in codebases, such as debugging a competitive programming book
• Training and fine-tuning its own AI models given a link to a research repository
• Addressing bugs and feature requests in open-source repositories by setting up the environment and gathering context
• Contributing to mature production repositories like sympy, solving bugs with logarithm calculations
• Handling real-world coding jobs from platforms like Upwork, such as running computer vision models and compiling reports

AI Coding Performance: Setting a New State-of-the-Art

Devin was evaluated on the SWE-bench coding benchmark, a challenging task that asks agents to resolve real-world GitHub issues found in open-source projects like Django and scikit-learn. Devin correctly resolves 13.86% of the issues end-to-end, far exceeding the previous state-of-the-art of 1.96%. Even when given the exact files to edit, the best previous models could only resolve 4.80% of issues.
