Why Devin CLI

• Runs on your machine. Your repo, your shell, your credentials.
• Hand off to the cloud. /handoff moves the session to Devin Cloud; close your laptop and come back to a PR.
• Every frontier model. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Cognition, and open-weight models, switchable mid-session with /model.
• Fusion. A frontier lead model makes the decisions while a cheaper sidekick does the legwork, so you pay frontier prices only where they matter. How Fusion works →
• Built in Rust. Installs in under a minute, starts instantly.
• Bring your setup. AGENTS.md rules, MCP servers, skills, hooks, and Claude Code plugins work as-is.

About this package

Supported platforms: macOS, Linux, and Windows on x64 and arm64. The package contains a small Node launcher; the native binary for your platform is pulled from the npm registry as an optional dependency, so nothing is downloaded from outside the registry at install time and it works behind npm registry mirrors.

To update:

npm install -g devin@latest
