Cognition has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Windsurf. The acquisition includes Windsurf’s IP, product, trademark and brand, and strong business. Above all, it includes Windsurf’s world-class people, whom we’re privileged to welcome to our team. We are also honoring their talent and hard work in building Windsurf into the great business it is today. This transaction is structured so that 100% of Windsurf employees will participate financially. They will also have all vesting cliffs waived and will receive fully accelerated vesting for their work to date. At Cognition we have focused on developing robust and secure autonomous agents, while Windsurf has pioneered the agentic IDE. Devin + Windsurf are a powerful combination for the developers we serve. Working side by side, we’ll soon enable you to plan tasks in an IDE powered by Devin’s codebase understanding, delegate chunks of work to multiple Devins in parallel, complete the highest-leverage parts yourself with the help of autocomplete, and stitch it all back together in the same IDE. Cognition and Windsurf are united behind a shared vision for the future of software engineering, and there’s never been a better time to build. Welcome to our new colleagues from Windsurf!
About us
Makers of Devin, the first AI software engineer. We are an applied AI lab building end-to-end software agents. We’re building collaborative AI teammates that enable engineers to focus on more interesting problems and empower engineering teams to strive for more ambitious goals.

We’ve been working closely with the OpenAI team to integrate GPT-5 into Devin. Starting today, users can select a preview version of Devin that uses GPT-5 as part of our agent orchestration. GPT-5 represents a huge step up over previous OpenAI models, such as GPT-4.1. We believe GPT-5 is at the frontier of agentic ability and shines on tasks that require complex code understanding. On our junior SWE evals, GPT-5 is particularly strong at code exploration and planning, and demonstrates execution ability on par with models currently used by Devin. Start building with Devin today: https://devin.ai/ #openai #gpt5

Devin is now Model Context Protocol (MCP) compatible! You can give Devin access to your favorite MCP servers via the new MCP Marketplace. For example, you can easily configure Devin to: - dig through Datadog and Sentry logs - query databases to answer questions, create charts, and other analytics - create Notion docs, Google Docs, and Linear tickets - pull in context from and interact with Airtable, Stripe, Figma, Hubspot and a lot more! For MCP setup tips and more details, check out our docs: https://lnkd.in/e-JbeR-s Find the MCP Marketplace in Devin's Settings: https://lnkd.in/ggCj5iUi
