Bible Verses of the Day
1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. [Psalm 1:1-3, ESV]

Bay area startup Cognition today revealed Devin, a revolutionary AI software engineer that could transform the way we build software. Devin has achieved groundbreaking success on the SWE-bench coding benchmark, demonstrating its ability to execute complex tasks and even surpass top human engineers.
Devin’s unique abilities set it apart from your typical coding assistant. With advanced long-term reasoning, Devin can plan and complete software projects autonomously, making thousands of accurate decisions along the way. The AI learns dynamically, adapts to mistakes, and maintains relevant context. Plus, Cognition has equipped Devin with essential developer tools for seamless integration into existing workflows.

Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas tells The Verge that many people are using chatbots like regular search engines. It makes sense to offer information on things they look for, like restaurants, directly from the source. So it’s integrating Yelp’s maps, reviews, and other details in responses when people ask for restaurant recommendations.
Perplexity is the latest AI company to cut a deal for a source of continually refreshed, up-to-date information, though Srinivas points out it is not partnering with Yelp but rather licensing its data. Google will reportedly pay Reddit $60 million a year to access real-time data and use Reddit data to train its AI models.
“Our underlying motivation is that we started off as this tool that appealed to people doing fact checks and research. But research can be on anything, like what if you’re a coffee addict, you’d want to know where the good coffee shops are,” says Srinivas.
