Conflicts & caveats
- Devin uses Cognition's proprietary model internally — your selected Claude Sonnet 4.6 will be ignored.
- Devin with Amazon Nova Micro (≤8K max output) may struggle with multi-file edits. Use models with 16K+ output capacity.
- ⚠️ Devin with on-demand context "Continue codebase indexing" may act on stale code — prefer real-time context (Cursor @codebase, Greptile, GitHub Copilot indexing, Augment Context, CocoIndex, turbopuffer).
