running the nyc marathon and made a silly little website to track me and my sister. but then i thought... why not democratize it for the people
i present:

you can track your friends, upload pics, make signs!
thank you @DevinAI :))

Jet lag is kind of holy to me. I'm tired because I flew. I flew too fast too far. My body misses a different sun

Hey Matan - CEO of Cognition here. I respect the work you have done at Factory but your allegations here about Cognition are not true.
We have no interest in Factory’s info and Chris has never brought it up. He has not shared and would never share any information about you or Factory with our team, nor would we ever ask. Similarly, we would never ask our engineers or anyone on our team to collect info about any competitor under-the-table. Chris is an advisor to at least 10 companies, and he told you he was resigning as an advisor on Monday.
The truth is we both wanted Chris and for good reason - he is a living legend with an unmatched reputation for results and integrity. Not only is he the only person who has built a sales org from the first sales hire to over 3B, he also has built incredible teams that he cares deeply about. His people love working for him.
Again, I have a lot of respect for what you’ve built, but competing with integrity doesn’t include posts like yours.

We are terminating Chris Degnan for unethical conduct involving Cognition.
The last few months have seen incredible progress in AI capabilities. San Francisco has flourished as new companies that solve new, more ambitious problems are finding great success. Generally, it is a wonderful time to be building.
We at @FactoryAI have seen overwhelming interest in our model-agnostic coding agents and our software factory product. Our team has 10x’d in size, while our revenue has 100x’d year over year. This momentum has been unprecedented.
A much larger competitor, Cognition (makers of Devin) has fallen behind us on the capabilities that matter most to customers: cost, quality, and security. Instead of competing in the market, Cognition engineers feigned interviews with us to pry information about our product. Not finding what they were looking for, Cognition has decided to throw their weight and money at people with direct knowledge of our most confidential plans.
It feels as though ethics is being thrown out of the window in the AI era. People are willing to do anything, including exploiting privileged information and violating ethical boundaries. I think this is unique to our time, and I don’t think it’s right. Integrity still matters.
Yesterday, I made the decision to immediately terminate Christopher Degnan’s roles as a Board Observer and Advisor to Factory, after over a year of service.
Prior to this decision, Chris told me he had a casual conversation with an executive at Cognition AI. When I questioned his intentions, he reassured me that ethics aside, he had “made too much money” and was “too lazy to go work for Cognition,” which I trusted and believed.
On Monday, Chris spent time advising the Factory team on a handful of confidential board-level matters. That evening, he called me to say that the conversation that was initially described as casual and one-off was actually formal and recurring. For weeks, while he sat in our board meetings and advised our leadership team, he was also confiding with executives of our largest competitor. Chris was subject to confidentiality obligations in connection with his work with Factory. We do not know the extent of the information he shared, but it puts his timely questions about our product roadmap and what the parity gap involves into a new light.
It is sad to sever a relationship with someone who has been a trusted advisor - and even a close friend - for over a year. But Chris’s conduct is unacceptable to me. Trust in Board Membership is one of the sacred bonds in the Silicon Valley, one that helps the startup ecosystem thrive. With it comes an enormous responsibility. That trust was violated.
Competition is good. I respect and in many cases admire our competitors. San Francisco is a beautiful, singular place where the bold and ambitious go to defy the norms and precedents of the past. But certain principles that must remain. Violating ethics to seek advantage turns what should be positive-sum into zero-sum.
We all love technology. And we all love to compete. But we must hold ourselves to a higher standard. The future of software engineering comes with abundance that will impact every person on Earth. Building that future comes with immense responsibility. We must build and compete with integrity.

I joined Cognition in April. Since then, I've been blown away by the speed of operating that Devin enables; not just in my own day, but in the step-functional advancements we are enabling for our customers (which happen to be some of the largest companies in the world!). Onwards!
Cognition has crossed $1B in annualized revenue run rate.
This milestone belongs to our customers. Here's how a few of them are building with Devin.

adding Cognition’s growth to a chart that circulated last year (h/t @Yuchenj_UW), you can see that execution speed defines the company
this should not surprise those who saw Scott’s childhood mathcounts video, but hard to fully appreciate until seen in the context of the greats

We have some very big news to share. 🎉
Today, Dioxus Labs is joining @cognition to accelerate the development of Devin, Cognition’s autonomous cloud coding agent.
We are excited to continue building Dioxus while also helping Cognition shape the future of software engineering.

Introducing SWE-2, our closest model yet to the frontier.
On leading evals, it scores on par with recent frontier models – at up to 70% lower cost.
We scaled RL to multiple trillions of parameters, with a refined recipe that pushes the Pareto curve on both capabilities & cost.

Cognition is the first investment in our first dedicated growth fund. When we discussed the fund’s strategy, we agreed that we wanted to focus solely on companies that were still only 1% of the way through their journey despite being at growth-stage scale, and had a shot at becoming trillion dollar businesses. Cognition fits the bill entirely and we have been blown away by the momentum and the scope of their ambition
The world needs far more software than it can build. Cognition exists to change that.
We’ve just raised over $2B at a $48B valuation, led by a16z, Accel, Founders Fund, General Catalyst, and Avenir.
Since our round in May, run-rate revenue has grown from $492 M to almost $900 M.

Everyone already knew Cognition has the best eng and GTM teams in the world. M&A being just as elite is a cheat code.
Cognition is acquiring @interaction, the makers of Poke.
If you've ever used Poke, you know why we're so excited.
