Notes
  • Cognition announced 'Welcoming Dioxus to Cognition' on 2026-09-10: Jonathan Kelley and the Dioxus team joined to improve Devin's virtual machine, computer use skills, and testing capabilities, while Cognition continues supporting Dioxus, Blitz, Taffy and Subsecond.Sep 10, 2026
  • Publicly quoted by AWS as 'Evan Almloff, Member of Technical Staff, Cognition' on the EC2 Mac page, word for word: "first week after launch, more than 1,100 customer organizations are using Devin for macOS, and we expect that demand to keep growing as teams do more of their Apple development with Devin.".2026
  • Dioxus Labs' own post 'Dioxus Labs is joining Cognition' (by Jonathan Kelley) says the team built a cloud coding harness, SkyVM, supporting macOS/iOS, Android, Linux and Windows with handrolled virtualization for VM snapshotting, forking and rollbacks resuming in under 50ms; this is the VM expertise Cognition cited for Devin.Sep 10, 2026
  • The Dioxus post states the Devin CLI terminal renderer is built with Dioxus, and Cognition says it 'used Dioxus extensively to build and improve the performance of Devin', so Evan's framework work was in Cognition's product before the team joined.Sep 10, 2026
  • Member of Technical Staff at Cognition (2026) after Dioxus Labs was folded into Cognition; LinkedIn lists Software Developer at Dioxus Labs 2023-2026, then Software Engineer there in 2026.2026
  • Reposted Cognition's 2026-09-15 launch: 'Special delivery: Devin just got a Mac 🍎 Now Devin can: 1. Build & test apps on its own Mac VM with iOS simulator...' five days after the Dioxus team joined.Sep 15, 2026
  • Co-contributor with Jonathan Kelley (and a Devin bot) on DioxusLabs/accessibility-cli, a cross-platform CLI for computer use across macOS, Windows, Linux and Android, which lines up with Cognition's stated computer-use goal for the team.
  • Beri.net analysis (2026-09-14) notes every crates.io owner of Blitz's core crates and two of Taffy's three owners now work at Cognition, and Blitz underpins Cloudflare's Kitesurf agent browser; Nico Burns was named lead engineer on Blitz devoted full-time to Dioxus.Sep 14, 2026
  • Dioxus Labs raised $3.5M collectively from Y Combinator and Khosla Ventures (with champions at Futurewei) before joining Cognition; Dioxus started as Jonathan Kelley's side project during the last summer of Covid.Sep 10, 2026
  • Public headline says "Member of Technical Staff at Cognition".
  • Named co-author with Jonathan Kelley of the dioxus-router crate (authors = Jonathan Kelley, Evan Almloff); his site says he works on the core virtual DOM, reactivity system, backend integrations and router.
  • Creator of sledgehammer-bindgen, described by him as 'the fastest way to get data from Rust into JavaScript' using batched string decoding and per-framework opcode lists.
