    Brian Xu, engineer on the Agents team at Rox

    Living Evals: an eval suite that grows from productionCompany engineering blog post, Rox

    Xu describes how each week Devin "samples" about 350 production conversations from Braintrust and labels them, replays cases in a "preview" environment holding a full copy of Rox, and opens a pull request with each eval. The first sweep's suite covered 72% of unseen conversations, against 43 to 57% for 142 hand-written evals.

    "It works in its own environment, so it can stand up a preview environment, use Rox there the way a salesperson would, and open a pull request with the finished eval."
    Excerpt, Brian Xu
    "One automated sweep covered twice as many behaviors as everything we had written by hand."

    "When the skill gets something wrong, Devin proposes a fix to the skill itself, and we review it like any other change."
    Same speaker
    "Every week, Devin, the coding agent from Cognition, reads real conversations on Rox from our production traces in Braintrust, turns them into evals, and opens a pull request that we review."

    Successfully coding with AI in large enterprises: Centralized rules, workflows for tech debt, & morePodcast episode, How I AI (YouTube)

    Davis consolidated Cursor rules and a Claude MD file into one in-repo agents directory, started from Devin's per-repo wiki to write docs, got Devin running in front-end-only mode before a colleague set up the back end, and can Slack Devin to pick up the next tech-debt cleanup task.

    American Banker: Citi is rolling out agentic AI to its 40,000 developersNews report quoting the CTO

    Citi's CTO gives developers Devin for simple, repeatable tasks such as upgrades, rewrites, patches, documentation and tests, and would not yet ask an agent to build a complicated feature end to end.

    ""It's not at the point where you would want to ask the agent to implement a very complicated feature from start to finish. We may get there with the technology in time, but today, I wouldn't recommend anyone to do that. We focus on the simple, repeatable tasks, which it can do at our scale."

    AI Workflows for Docs: Putting Devin to WorkCompany blog post, Neon

    Neon's docs team uses a Devin playbook to set up the weekly changelog, sends it to work through older docs issues and small UI copy fixes, and has it explain code. A feature rename left awkward edits that took 20+ manual commits, and open-ended tasks often failed silently, so Cursor stays their interactive tool.

    "Devin does well when the problem is clearly scoped, but once things get open-ended, it still struggles."
    Excerpt, Daniel Price
    "But its edits leaned heavily on direct find/replace, which led to some awkward constructions like “instant instant restore.” It took another 20+ manual commits to polish the changes."

    Bought the US$20 subscription and has used SWE-2 for a few days. Finds it good, not Fable-class, with SWE-2 Max substantially better than K3 and on par with Opus 5 Max; calls it a great achievement.

    SWE-2 verbatim repetition loops on long agentic trajectories (native Devin CLI)GitHub issue on CognitionAI/devin-cli

    On a multi-hour Devin CLI task, SWE-2 repeated a 600-word paragraph verbatim and, after context compaction, re-attempted edits it had already applied.

    "A single thinking stream repeated a ~600-word paragraph byte-for-byte, twice in one generation…"
    Excerpt, future3OOO
    "The model re-emits and re-executes work the compacted context presents as uncommitted, e.g. re-attempting identical edits that then fail with "string not found" because they already applied."
