The recent introduction of “Devin,” touted as the “First Artificial Intelligence Software Engineer,” has garnered attention in the world of technology. However, contrary to claims, it has emerged that Devin’s abilities were misrepresented.
Did artificial intelligence software engineer Devin meet expectations?
The company released a video showing Devin completing freelance jobs on the Upwork platform and earning payment. However, it’s difficult to say that the promotional video accurately reflects Devin’s true abilities.
A YouTuber who reviewed the promotional video examined the Upwork job disclosed by Cognition. Providing an explanation on the matter, the YouTuber emphasized that what Devin was claimed to have achieved was nothing more than a sales pitch.

However, they have yet to reveal which LLM (Large Language Model) model Devin is built upon. Some experts speculate that the company may be using GPT-4 due to its inability to develop an effective and powerful LLM model in a short time.
In a study conducted as part of the Synthetic Memories project, images are created from people's memories. And with artificial intelligence!
The YouTuber who scrutinized the project pointed out some errors on the project’s website. Unfortunately, Devin, touted as the first artificial intelligence software engineer, doesn’t appear to be proficient enough in creating his own website.
