Finally a BYO-subscription moment. The number of people double-paying for GPT access across tools has gotten genuinely absurd.

Procurement will love this. One less vendor relationship, one less invoice to reconcile, assuming you can prove the usage attribution for audit purposes.

The tweet reads like a changelog entry someone pasted into Twitter at 11pm. Where's the demo video? You shipped a billing innovation and buried it.

Naive question but what happens when my quota runs out mid-task? Does Devin just stop or does it fall back to something?

Still waiting to try Devin until the hype dies down. Might get around to it in 2027 when everyone's moved on to the next thing.

The screenshot in the attached media has inconsistent padding between the OpenAI logo and the plan selector. Small thing but it's the first thing I noticed.

Doing something similar in my agent wrapper, 3 weeks from launch. Cognition shipping this first is annoying but validating I guess.

Every IDE and dev tool shipped before agents is now legacy software. The ones that let you plug in your existing model subscription are the only ones that'll survive the transition.

Hard disagree on this being the future. Model providers will eventually squeeze these pass-through deals and then where does Devin's margin come from?
