Welcome to OpenDevin, an open-source project aiming to replicate Devin, an autonomous AI software engineer who is capable of executing complex engineering tasks and collaborating actively with users on software development projects. This project aspires to replicate, enhance, and innovate upon Devin through the power of the open-source community.

What is Devin?

Devin represents a cutting-edge autonomous agent designed to navigate the complexities of software engineering. It leverages a combination of tools such as a shell, code editor, and web browser, showcasing the untapped potential of LLMs in software development. Our goal is to explore and expand upon Devin’s capabilities, identifying both its strengths and areas for improvement, to guide the progress of open code models.

Mission and Background

Devin represents a cutting-edge autonomous agent designed to navigate the complexities of software engineering. Leveraging a combination of tools such as a shell, code editor, and web browser, Devin showcases the untapped potential of large language models (LLMs) in software development. OpenDevin aims to replicate, enhance, and innovate upon Devin through the power of the open-source community.
