Devin, the viral coding AI agent, gets a new pay-as-you-go plan | TechCrunch
Briefly

Cognition's viral AI development tool, Devin, has launched a new low-cost entry option priced at $20 to attract users. Initially, Devin had a high monthly subscription rate of $500, which raised concerns about accessibility. This new pay-as-you-go plan, however, could become expensive quickly. Despite its initial struggles with complex tasks, Devin 2.0 boasts significant improvements, like generating project plans akin to GitHub's Copilot. However, concerns about introducing security vulnerabilities and bugs still remain, highlighting the current limitations of AI-generated code.
Cognition has lowered Devin's entry price to $20 per month with a pay-as-you-go model, after raising significant capital, despite previously high subscription costs.
Devin 2.0 shows improvements over the initial release, with enhanced capabilities similar to GitHub's Copilot for project planning and documentation.
Despite its advancements, Devin still faces challenges like security vulnerabilities and bugs prevalent in AI code generation tools, raising questions about its reliability.
Developers suggest that although Devin can now accomplish more, the effectiveness of AI code generation often lacks precision and understanding, impacting real-world software development.
