Devin for Terminal adds cloud handoff

Devin for Terminal is a local command-line coding agent from Cognition that runs in your terminal, works with your codebase and environment, and can hand off bigger tasks to Devin Cloud when the work outgrows your laptop. The launch is positioned for developers who want fast, interactive assistance in the CLI while still keeping access to remote, longer-running execution. It is currently available to Windsurf Enterprise and Devin Enterprise customers, with setup controlled through team settings.

// ANALYSIS

Hot take: this is the right shape for agentic coding tools, because the terminal is where context, trust, and automation already live, and the cloud handoff solves the “my laptop closed” failure mode.

–Strong product fit for developers who already live in the CLI and want agent help without switching contexts.
–The local-first workflow should feel more immediate and controllable than a browser-only agent.
–The cloud handoff is the differentiator: it turns a terminal assistant into a longer-running work engine.
–Enterprise gating means the near-term audience is narrower than the headline suggests.
–The launch messaging is simple and credible: install, type `devin`, and start delegating.

Mosh is an open-source, model-driven application security testing harness that wraps around LLMs to automate penetration testing through discovery, planning, dockerized execution, and reporting.

Mosh (Model-driven Open Security Harness) is an open-source security testing application designed to automate the work of a security researcher. Instead of relying on raw prompts, the tool implements a multi-step workflow starting with application discovery (mapping routes and technologies), security planning (creating test hypotheses), and controlled test execution through Docker containers using engagement settings. It continuously writes structured reports and memory logs, allowing developers to safely run, review, and reproduce pen-testing results iteratively as vulnerabilities are resolved.
