Cognition Reflects on One Year Since the Windsurf Acquisition — Devin Reaches 1,000 Tokens/Sec with SWE-1.7
To mark one year since acquiring Windsurf, Cognition has published a retrospective on the journey the two companies have taken together. The article traces the shift from a tool that handled individual tasks to an integrated platform.
Details
- Product integration: The two companies’ brands and offerings have been merged into “Devin Desktop,” positioned as a hub for software engineering. It has evolved from handling one-off tasks to performing at a “mid-to-senior engineer” level, including self-testing and code verification
- Model evolution: Introduced proprietary models SWE-1.5, SWE-1.6, and SWE-1.7. The latest, SWE-1.7, is more efficient, achieving roughly 1,000 tokens per second
- Major features from the past year: Voice Mode, Planning Mode, parallel agent processing, DeepWiki integration, Android emulator support, and enterprise security features such as “Devin Security Swarm” and a vulnerability remediation program
- Target users: Ranges from software engineers looking to boost productivity, to non-engineers, to enterprises including government agencies and automakers
How to try it
Support is provided through a global team spanning San Francisco, New York, London, Singapore, and Tokyo, with access to Devin available across multiple platforms and interfaces.
