This update is all about making Devin faster and easier to manage. It gives you better tools to search through what the AI can do, fixes some frustrating glitches that could freeze the app or mess up your chat history, and switches the default AI model to one that speeds things up. This matters most to developers who use Devin daily to write and manage code.
What's new
- Deeper skill search: You can now use the
skill searchcommand to dig through all the folders in your project to find specific "skills" (special abilities the AI can use). You can also filter these searches by keywords to find exactly what you need faster.
Improvements
- Faster default model: The default AI model (the "brain" Devin uses) is now "SWE 1.6 Fast" instead of the previous "Adaptive" model. This means Devin will get to work quicker by default.
Fixes
- Live code updates: When Devin edits or creates files, you used to have to wait until the entire edit was finished to see what changed. Now, the changes pop up on your screen live as they are being written.
- Accurate command hints: If you use a custom shortcut or alias to launch Devin, the on-screen tips will now show the correct name you used. Before, it got confused and showed the wrong name.
- No more freezing during login errors: If you tried to log in using a secure connection (MCP OAuth) and it failed, Devin used to freeze completely. This was because a background server stayed open, waiting forever for a web browser signal that was never coming. That server now shuts down correctly.
- Access to older history: Devin sometimes "compacts" (summarizes) your chat history to save memory. Previously, when it did this, you lost the ability to view, undo (
/revert), or branch off (/fork) from any steps that happened before the summary. That older history is now visible and usable again. - Fixed chat text order: If Devin typed a message and used a tool at the exact same time, the text used to show up in the wrong spot in your chat history. The order is now fixed.
