Introducing Fusion in Devin CLI

The most efficient frontier harness for Fable & Astra; 39% cheaper across coding benchmarks.

Pick your favorite model for planning and a cost-effective model for execution.

We partnered with @ArtificialAnlys and @ValsAI to evaluate Fusion across several coding agent benchmarks. The cost savings hold across the board while maintaining frontier performance.

Unlike plain model routing, Fusion keeps frontier intelligence in charge. We don’t rely on one initial routing decision. The lead reviews work, flags problems, and can take control back when the sidekick is out of its depth.
