Devin Desktop and Devin CLI now support Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 for AI software engineering workflows.

Cognition has introduced support for Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 across both Devin Desktop and the Devin CLI. The update enables software engineers to tap into Opus 5.5's state-of-the-art reasoning and coding capabilities directly within Devin's desktop client and terminal environments. Developers can access the integration immediately by updating or downloading the latest Devin client tools to tackle complex local and cloud-assisted development tasks.

// ANALYSIS

Providing native access to Anthropic's top-tier reasoning model gives Devin users a significant boost in handling complex, multi-file software engineering tasks across both visual and command-line workflows.

–**Multi-Model Strategy**: Cognition's move to support Opus 5.5 reinforces model flexibility, ensuring developers can leverage whichever frontier LLM currently leads coding benchmarks.
–**Workflow Versatility**: Delivering the model to both the desktop interface and the CLI lets developers blend autonomous agent execution into their preferred local environments.
–**Competitive Pressure**: With developer tools like Cursor and Claude Code expanding agentic capabilities, immediate integration of flagship frontier models is vital to remaining competitive.

Astra finds 14-year-old libuv memory leak

After investigating intermittent ChatGPT desktop crashes on macOS, developer Peter Steinberger prompted AI agent Astra to inspect system crash logs and trace native stack traces down to a 14-year-old memory leak in libuv's Darwin filesystem watcher. Pull request #5283 resolves the bug by releasing uncollected Core Foundation objects and C path buffers across exit paths in `uv__fsevents_reschedule`, halting quadratic memory growth during watch churn.
