- On the refreshed Devin Desktop (the merged IDE, formerly Windsurf, plus the agent): "Last week we released a totally refreshed Devin Desktop app. We unified our IDE and our agent-first experience so you can switch seamlessly between cloud and local. This is the first of a few upcoming ships that unify our client surfaces so Devin feels and works like Devin no matter what device you’re on. https://t.co/Ey34a0bSyv"Oct 26, 2026Last week we released a totally refreshed Devin Desktop app. We unified our IDE and our agent-first experience so you can switch seamlessly between cloud and local.

- Posted the SWE-2 launch himself, word for word: "Today we're releasing SWE-2, our latest AI coding model. SWE-2 pushes the Pareto frontier of capability and cost, achieving 50.0% on FrontierCode 1.1 (within a point of Claude Fable 5.1) while being 64% cheaper. With SWE-2, our research team at Cognition post-trained Kimi-K3 with SWE-1.72's training infrastructure. For the first time, we scaled RL to the multi-trillion-parameter regime. The key addition for our new model was an RL algorithm that trains all reasoning-effort levels in a single run, advancing the whole cost–performance profile. We also applied our trustworthiness alignment to the model to reduce bias and security risks. All these advances have enabled SWE-2 to drastically mo".Sep 10, 2026Today we're releasing SWE-2, our latest AI coding model.

- Cognition's official announcement, word for word: "Jared Palmer has joined Cognition as our VP of Engineering.
While at Vercel, Jared created v0, one of the first successful AI products to turn prompts into software, and the AI SDK, now the default way developers build AI apps in JavaScript. He then served as SVP of GitHub and later VP of Engineering at Xbox for Microsoft. Like many folks at Cognition, he is a builder at heart, having founded Turborepo (acquired by Vercel).
Building the AI teammate engineers deserve requires an obsession with building great software that people love. Few have dedicated their career to this more earnestly tha"Sep 1, 2026
- Announced the move on LinkedIn, word for word: "Personal update: I’ve joined Cognition to lead engineering. I’m grateful to Asha and everyone at Microsoft and Xbox for an amazing year. Excited for this next chapter" The thanks to Asha (Sharma) places his Xbox year under her directly before Cognition.Jul 21, 2026Personal update: I’ve joined Cognition to lead engineering.

- Reflecting on Turborepo, which Vercel acquired, he wrote: "This was my initial vision and pitch for @turborepo: a build system that worked the same way locally and in the cloud that felt completely idiomatic to your codebase, with as little configuration as possible. Traditional YAML CI didn't make sense back in 2021 and it makes even less sense now. The biggest pushback against a turbo-first CI was that it was fairly painful to lift all the bash slop into real packages in your dependency graph, but of course now that's trivial for agents. Congrats to @anthonysheww @rauchg et al for executing."Oct 28, 2026This was my initial vision and pitch for @turborepo: a build system that worked the same way locally and in the cloud that felt completely idiomatic to your codebase, with as little configuration as possible.

- On Devin Oncall, built from Cognition's own internal practice: "We productized how we handle incidents, bug reports, and alerts at @cognition with Devin Oncall. It’s completely changed how we work and also how we think about incident management and SRE. From investigations, to reproductions, to triage, rollout, root cause analysis and even postmortems, we do it all with Devin. Excited to share this with the world."Oct 15, 2026We productized how we handle incidents, bug reports, and alerts at @cognition with Devin Oncall.

I was responsible for all AI products, initiatives, and vibes at Vercel. I created v0.app, Vercel's text-to-app AI model and coding agent used by millions of developers. I also created the Vercel AI SDK, the world’s most popular AI agent toolkit for TypeScript as well as the Vercel AI Gateway, a multi-provider AI inference proxy and router.
I was Director of Engineering for Vercel's Developer Tools & Frameworks division responsible for core development of Next.js, React, Svelte, Turborepo, Turbopack, Webpack, and Vercel's other open source projects.
Turborepo is a build system for JavaScript and TypeScript.

ICYMI: you can now use @DevinAI with your @ChatGPT subscription. Once you link your account, your OpenAI model usage in your sessions counts against your ChatGPT Go, Plus, or Pro plan instead of your Devin quota. https://t.co/YKJ8OXnlPp
I’ve been experimenting with Devin and autoresearch every night for the past week or so. The prompt I’ve been using for is pretty simple: `I want you to do autoresearch to improve {verifiable metric(s)}. Hill climb. You have a budget of ${budget} and {time limit}. Use sub-devins

Been using @DevinAI to do autoresearch on Kev overnight with @Modal Outposts (this gives Devin’s Cloud agent full access to GPUs) as well as Devin’s macOS VMs to do some work on MLX. The workflow has been super powerful. I also set up a bunch of Devin Automations for a lot of rou
