What it is. Autonomous cloud engineer that runs whole tickets in its own VM
Devin is Cognition's cloud software engineer: it clones the repository, plans the work, edits code, runs tests and opens pull requests inside a persistent VM, with a Fusion mode that pairs a strong lead model with a cheaper sidekick. Cognition reports FrontierCode 1.1 Extended at 68.8 for $0.60 per task after a harness rewrite that batches tool calls.

What each number is based on
AgentBurn labels every field. Source-backed means the cited page states the figure; derived means a formula on this page produced it; not published means no public basis exists and the field is left empty rather than estimated.
| Field | Basis | Note |
|---|---|---|
| tokensPerTask | Not published | No token count published; deriving it would need an assumed model mix. |
| costPerTaskUsd | Source-backed | Cognition blog — Devin Fusion: $0.60/task average. |
| successRatePct | Not published | The 68.8 figure is a FrontierCode v1.1 score, not a success rate. |
| runsPerDay | Model estimate | No public source publishes daily run volume; this is a model estimate from pricing tiers and community reports, shown only in estimated-volume context. |
