Cognition

Cognition operates Devin, the first autonomous software engineer.

We believe the purpose of technology is to expand human capacity — not by replacing meaningful work but by working alongside people as an exponential collaborator, helping them think deeper and move faster. We build tools for software creation because software shapes nearly every aspect of modern life. Cognition helps engineers operate more like architects: strategizing, designing systems, and focusing on problem solving, while agents handle the repetitive engineering work.

Devin plans, writes, tests, and ships production code on its own, working inside your codebase and the tools your team already uses. Devin is deployed at some of the largest and most complex institutions in the world.

Introducing FrontierCode

FrontierCode is our benchmark to measure whether a model writes code that a maintainer would actually merge. Traditional benchmarks only check if code passes basic unit tests. FrontierCode asks a harder question: Would a human maintainer actually merge this pull request? To evaluate mergeability, FrontierCode combines custom rubrics, novel verifiers, and tests to check for correctness, test quality, scope discipline, style, and adherence to codebase standards.
