Scott Wu says Cognition 'is not for sale' after a report that SpaceX approached the Devin maker, now in talks at a $40B valuation.

Devin's maker hit a $1B annualized revenue run rate, doubling in three months, as enterprises pile onto its AI coding agent.

The low-nine-figure deal folds a texting-native AI assistant with 100M messages in three months into Cognition's coding agent.

A new nonprofit from UK AISI and Timaeus researchers wants $100–150M to chase theoretical alignment guarantees the frontier labs aren't pursuing.

METR couldn't rerun its coding study because devs wouldn't unplug; meanwhile 44% of tokens are reportedly going to fixing AI's own bugs.

Fresh off a $1B raise at $26B, Wu insists the AI coding agent is a 'buddy' for programmers — even as it ships nearly all of Cognition's own code.

The Devin maker's valuation jumped 145% in eight months on $492M annualized revenue run-rate.
