DeepWiki just had its biggest week ever. It's now at >2.5 million lifetime users and also recently crossed 1 million MAUs (up 70% compared to the previous month). What should we build next? (If you're interested in working at the intersection of product & research, DMs open)

Windsurf is back! It's only day 4 of Cognition x Windsurf and the team keeps shipping new features. Yesterday bringing Anthropic back, today Wave 11. Lots more in the works, stay tuned!
Wave 11 is live! Seven big upgrades to Windsurf 🧵
We brought Anthropic back to Windsurf! Very impressed how fast the team pulled this together despite the unprecedented situation. There was a lot to do behind the scenes, e.g. figuring out model capacity: we integrated our Devin capacity into Windsurf's model routing
Claude Sonnet 4 is back via first party support from @AnthropicAI! Available at 2x credits (limited time discount) per request for Pro and Teams users. That’s 250 requests a month!
Devin + Windsurf are stronger together! At Cognition we‘ve been focused on building the best cloud agent – but the IDE was always a missing piece. The Windsurf team built the first agentic IDE & scaled it to hundreds of thousands of users – but wanted to add a cloud agent.…
Cognition has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Windsurf. The acquisition includes Windsurf’s IP, product, trademark and brand, and strong business. Above all, it includes Windsurf’s world-class people, whom we’re privileged to welcome to our team. We are also honoring…
Devin 🤝 Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs has started to introduce Devin alongside its engineers. We're excited to keep working closely with their team to accelerate their software development operations. More from CIO Marco Argenti: cnbc.com/2025/07/11/gol…
This is my experience with Cursor too...it slows me down significantly! @DevinAI however has been a 10x boost to my productivity (measured by PRs landed over the past 2 months)
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
maybe Meta is actually on track to be a leading lab - so far going to Meta could've been criticized as "selling out for retirement". like Ronaldo going to Saudi Arabia - but if very respected ICs go, it legitimizes it for other people. could be the start of a talent flywheel…
Zuck poached 4 elite Chinese researchers from OpenAI: - Jiahui Yu: led o3, o4-mini, GPT-4.1 - Hongyu Ren: creator of o3-mini & o1-mini, core contributor to o1 - Shuchao Bi: head of post-training multimodal org - Shengjia Zhao: key contributor to GPT-4 & o1 These are undeniably…
@DevinAI may have just fixed ANOTHER one of the issues I was struggling with on another @lovable_dev project. I was trying to filter YouTube videos by status but it wouldn't work right. After many wasted credits of trying to prompt it, asked Devin to look into it and it may have…
We’ve been using Devin by @cognition_labs to improve our docs. We’re using it to: – Tackle repetitive tasks like typo fixes and link cleanups – Polish UX copy and UI text – Go faster through our backlog neon.com/blog/ai-workfl…
Not many people know about this but… deepwiki.com by Devin.ai is by far and away the fastest and easiest way to understand any github repo. You don't need docs any more: converse with the code base directly and can generate accurate examples. And…
