Apparently 'free' on the $20/mo Devin plan (presumably within some quota still)
and that is "via Cerebras at 1000 TPS" according to the announcement
I live on Opus 4.8 High and their benchmark scores SWE-1.7 slightly higher ... if at all realistic that sounds like a great deal ... too good to be true?
I used SWE-1.5 and 1.6 when it was Windsurf (before Devin Desktop), it's not that bad (grunt work, tests, can actually plan and implement some medium level stuff) but you get a much much better value and better models (GPT-5.4^) going with a Codex subscription (plus you get resets).
That company truly subsidized its user base to the extreme before, the $15/mo subscription was the best value on Earth paired with weekly deals reducing credits for premium models. Now it's barely any messages for paid models, completely watered down.
FWIW, Cognition has all the Sonnet/Opus/Fable models, and all the GPT ones, as well as GLM, Kimi, and Gemini.
But they don't appear to subsidize them to the same degree. I've only been using Devin for less than a month, but I've been hitting the limits of the $20/month plan way more quickly than I'd expect, and definitely more quickly than with Claude Code or Codex.
So far, Cursor provides the best value for their subscription, but I have to imagine they're basically lighting money on fire. There's no way their current pricing is sustainable.
The "Lightning" (Cerebras) variant isn't free, only the regular one, which runs closer to 50 TPS in my experience with SWE 1.6.
The 1000 TPS shows for me as "SWE 1.7 Lightning" and took 14% of my daily quota in one prompt on the $20 plan.
But the normal speed one seems to be free or with very generous limits.
