Amidst the hype surrounding Devin, the pioneering ‘AI software engineer’ developed by Cognition Labs in the US, India has stepped into the arena with its own offering, Devika. This open-source initiative, spearheaded by Mufeed VH (Hamzakutty) of Lyminal and Stition.AI, aims to match Devin’s prowess.

Much akin to Devin, Devika harnesses the power of machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) to comprehend human directives. However, Devika distinguishes itself by dissecting these directives into actionable tasks. It then embarks on independent research and autonomously generates code to fulfil the specified objectives.
Presenting itself as a collaborative ally for developers, this Indian innovation potentially presents a more accessible alternative to the US-developed Devin. While Devin’s functionalities remain shrouded in mystery, Devika’s transparent, open-source nature fosters greater community engagement in its evolution.
The introduction of Devika injects fresh vigour into the global race for AI advancement, particularly within software development. The ramifications of these AI tools on the tech job market are yet to unfold, but one thing is certain: a profound transformation awaits the future of coding.

Mufeed VH recently extended an invitation to early testers and contributors for his project via X, formerly known as Twitter. In his announcement, he delineated the features of the AI tool, stressing that an official launch would ensue following rigorous testing and bug rectification.
Key features of Devika encompass:
– 12 Agentic models capable of interacting in a feedback loop to comprehend, explore, research, code, document, and make decisions based on user queries to accomplish a project.
– Support for Claude 3, GPT-4, GPT-3.5, and Local LLMs via Ollama.
