Cognition Launches Devin Apps: Private, Shareable Web Apps That Devin Builds and Hosts on Its Own Cloud Machine at a Stable URL, Billed by Awake Time
On November 13, Cognition launched Devin Apps. You describe the tool you need, Devin builds it as a web app in a session and serves it from its own cloud machine, with nothing deployed to a third-party host. Each App has a stable URL (name--id.preview.devinapps.com); everyone who opens it must sign in to Devin, Apps are never public, and they can be shared with people, an organization or a whole enterprise. Apps can use any stack, reuse connected MCPs, integrations and code, and keep data such as SQLite or Postgres on the same machine. The machine sleeps 5 minutes after the last request and wakes when someone opens the App; billing is by awake time, while building and changes bill as normal session work. Every update is a new version tied to a commit, and if a new version fails to start the previous one keeps serving. Apps are rolling out gradually.

Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index v2.1 Moves to FrontierCode 2.0 and Terminal-Bench 4.1: Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Opus 5.5 Tie for First at 58, Scores Drop 5 Points on Average
On November 14 Artificial Analysis released Coding Agent Index v2.1, swapping FrontierCode 1.1 for its implementation of Cognition's FrontierCode 2.0 (132 real-world tasks graded on whether a maintainer would merge the change), upgrading Terminal-Bench from 4.0 to 4.1 and keeping SWE-Atlas-QnA-AA. Claude Fable 5.2 (xhigh and high, in Claude Code) and Claude Opus 5.5 (max) share the lead at 58. Because FrontierCode 2.0 is harder, scores fall 5 points on average; only Codex with GPT-6.1 Terra (max) held within 1 point of its prior score.

DeepSeek Opens Its Full App Feature Set Through the API: deepseek-flash Gets Built-in Web Search, Deep Thinking Search, File Input, URL Reading and Safety Checks, Plus Standalone OCR, ASR and TTS APIs and an MIT Open-Source Chat Demo
On November 13, DeepSeek said the capabilities behind the DeepSeek App are now available through its API. V4.1-Flash (model name deepseek-flash) supports server-side web search (including image search with citations), deep thinking search, file input for PDF, Office and image files, automatic reading of links in user messages, and input/output safety checks across the Messages, Responses and Chat Completions protocols. OCR, speech-to-text (ASR) and text-to-speech (TTS) also launch as standalone APIs. Tool calls are billed on top of token charges: Search and Fetch cost $0.75 per 1K requests, OCR $0.225 per 1K pages, ASR $0.058 per hour and TTS $0.225 per 10K characters (both at a limited-time 50% discount). DeepSeek also open-sourced an MIT-licensed chat front end that can import DeepSeek chat history. Public-facing apps must enable safety checks.
