Earlier quoted context omitted.

Isn't Devin a GPT-4 wrapper too, with an increased context size?

Isn't a web browser just a wrapper around http requests, with some memoization and rendering?

Completely different things with different levels of complexities. The LLM is the one doing the heavy-lifting in the case of an agent. One does not need to build an LLM from scratch, but they do with a web-browser. With the LLM, the work is already 70% done, the rest is figuring out how to create an agent and fine-tune the params.

There are two parts to “writing a Devin”. 1) a pretty user interface, a backend service layer, all the normal things you’d need for a desktop app or saas. 2) a backend that can actually do work.

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm trying to get involved with this project and thought that it was an effort in the right direction. Appreciate the insights.

If they let me I'll get to work on the "hard part."

OpenDevin dev here. I created the default agent.

We're very aware that we'll need great agents to be able to compete with Devin and others. We're currently setting up evaluation pipelines to evaluate various agents against SWE-bench.

Our thesis is that a community experimenting with various agents and agent architectures will outpace a private company on a single track. We're building the notion of an "agent hub" out of the gates--anyone can plug into the Agent interface and contribute their work. We're also discussing how to build a meta-agent, which farms out specific tasks to sub-agents.

It's early days though--we've only just gotten things wired together in a sort-of working demo. Stay tuned!
