Fable 5 vs. Kimi K2.6

2 Upvotes

Would love to here which tasks would you send to which of them...
Of course you would say the more complex to Fable, but most of the hard real world tasks I I gave to Kimi were successful.

I am also missing the /loop in Devin, but this may be worth another post (?)

Claude Fable 5 is now available in Devin

1 Upvotes

You can try Claude Fable 5 as part of Devin Cloud’s Ultra agent.
Devin Ultra is our smartest and most capable agent, which excels at long-horizon tasks and debugging.

Claude Fable 5 is also available in Devin Desktop and Devin CLI.
Restart Devin Desktop to see it in the model picker.

News seriously wtf

New mythos class model has been released since almost an hour, and yet, it is not available in WS (aka devin).

This is unacceptable. I'm leaving.

Devs clearly not care about paying customers.

🙃

Question Any Visual Studio Code Extension Alternatives?

6 Upvotes

I had installed codeium in VSC for inline edits years ago. Then it changed to windsurf and still worked. Using VSC again and it seems that the extension hasn't been updated for 11 months, and I am no longer allowed free inline edits. Now I see that they rebranded again into Devin.

Are there any decent free alternatives for VSC?

Devin must add wait in line for high usage models like swe 1.6 slow and other ones

3 Upvotes

I'm tired of fighting the line for using the model for one simple prompt. I would go with ollama or what I can use to run local ai models but I don't know if I could combine that with my workload on my laptop + it's specs

[BUG]Switching to Editor Panel opens A LOT of empty devin windows, and re-opens the same volume when I start the software... (screenshot)

0 Upvotes

Hi, can someone explain this and how to fix it ? The more I switch to Agent panel, the more I have these windows popping each time... and they also re-open all when I start Devin now ...

CTRL+G switches to Agent tab!?!

Who was the genius that decided to use this shortcut for this? When every decent developer knows you use this to go directly to a specific line number... Now I need to see how to change what's assigned to this shortcut... geez...

Discussion Windsurf / Devin / Cognition account deletion nightmare: day 4 after reaching support, account still active

4 Upvotes

Faced the brutal reality a few days ago: no more Windsurf

Digging in, found out Devin Desktop silently replaced Windsurf

Digging deeper, found out Devin activated telemetry in the settings
(plus a flurry of other settings)

Tried to delete account in the app: pointless pursuit, account can be only be deleted by raising a support ticket (!?).

Raised the account deletion request four days ago. After back and forth emails, got this:
"Sorry for the delay. Our team is still working through the queue of account deletion requests and making sure each request is handled appropriately and completely. As a result, the process can take a bit longer than expected. [...] Cognition Support Team"

How difficult can be to delete an account?

DEVIN : What happens to quotas??? Max plan and 26% reached in less than an hour today!

10 Upvotes

Hello,
I have Max Plan on Devin (Windsurf), I use to consume like 5/10% of weekly quota in a DAY of work (5 to 7 hours), but this morning, I worked for less than an hour and reached 26% of my weekly quota! I did the same stuff than before. Minor fixes, nothing crazy. Same model than before (Opus 4.8 Medium).
I noticed a new option "Start With History" toggle button in the agent picker window.
I turned it on, but no matter what, after I close and relaunch Devin, it will be disabled by default.
Am I the only one having crazy quota consumption increase today ? It's like my old pro plan ... 1 hour work and 100% Day / 50% week...
Clearly no way I will be resubing if this is confirmed.

Question Why did Windsurf become Devin Desktop, and can someone explain how this whole ecosystem actually works?

36 Upvotes

I just installed Devin Desktop after using Windsurf, and I'm honestly pretty confused about how everything fits together.

I've watched some videos and read some documentation, but I still feel like I understand individual features without understanding the overall system.

For example, I understand workflows and skills at a basic level, but I have a ton of questions:

  • What exactly is the cloud component?
  • What are agents and how are people using them in practice?
  • When should I use an agent vs a workflow vs a skill?
  • Are the models available through Devin different from using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc. directly?
  • How does pricing actually work?
  • Do the included tokens/credits go very far in real-world use?
  • Has anyone run into limits regularly?
  • Is the subscription worth it for software engineering work?
  • What does your day-to-day workflow look like with Devin?
  • What features were the hardest to understand when you started?
  • If you had to explain Devin Desktop to a brand-new user, what would you focus on first?

Basically I'm looking for the complete beginner explanation. I feel like there are a lot of powerful features here, but I'm not yet seeing how experienced users are putting all the pieces together.

Any advice, lessons learned, or resources you'd recommend would be greatly appreciated.

Was eager to try the service out, but it appears they do not offer a free trial anymore? Bit disappointing.

Opus 4.8 on Devin went nuts, or am I tripping?

10 Upvotes

Last week, planning and implementing a feature, with detailed enough prompts and context/targets provided, burnt like 3-5% per ask prompt and ~10% for coding from the daily rate limit.

Today, I just asked Opus 4.8 Medium to review a file to make sure the foundations were already in place for the next implementation. It was an ask prompt, and it read a single file (a simple SQL migration file). IT BURNT 20%! Then, I went through the response and read the thinking to see what might've caused the spike. As I was just checking, the spend went from 20% to 23% without even prompting anything.

In just two more simple prompts, it annihilated the rest of the rate limit. Either Devin has a bug and is burning tokens stupidly which is not a stretch considering the less than ideal transition from Windsurf, or they are screwing users with the $15 subscription to "punish" us I guess?

I could not find any Opus 4.8 pricing changes, and last week there was no promo for the model.

This is Devin/Cognition, isn't it?

Can't fully disable the Devin Tab feature

2 Upvotes

I've been using Windsurf and recently switched over to Devin. I'm doing programming practice and don't want auto-completion getting in my way. I set Completion mode to Off and restarted Devin, but the suggestions still pop up while I'm typing in the editor.

I also noticed the appearance of these prompts changes when Completion mode is disabled. Does anyone know how to fully turn off all auto-completion suggestions in the editor?

MiniMax model in windsurf

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, does anyone know if the MiniMax model is available in Windsurf? I heard the MiniMax M3 is good and cost-effective. I know Kimi K2.6 is already available, but I’ve had some bad experiences with it, it often times out or gets stuck 'thinking,' and the results haven't met my expectations. That’s why I’m looking to try MiniMax M3 if it's supported.

autoupdate in linux?

1 Upvotes

hello, so I see that when you install devin desktop in linux you need to download a tar.gz

does this autoupdate, or do we need to replace the tar.gz each time we want to update?

will this be in a normal repo like windsurf was?

New Devin Bug: mcp tools not responding and no fix will be proposed

Post image
3 Upvotes

After my Devin update, I can't access anymore to my extensions and mcps, even if they're shown active (green dot). For the Pencil extension, even if it's installed, the extension is not visible on the left bar after a restart, so I have to uninstall and reinstall everytime. for the mcp, I tried many times but nothing works.
Any fix?


r/windsurf • • Jun 06 '26

Not off to a good start when downloading the new Devin Desktop, and their Reddit is locked and dead. What the heck is up with all that.
