Devin Outposts on Modal

Modal and Cognition have launched an alpha integration called modal-devin, an open-source library and CLI that runs Cognition’s Devin AI software engineer in user-controlled Modal Sandboxes while retaining Devin’s cloud-based reasoning. Devin Outposts address workloads that require specialized or private environments, such as GPU-backed ML tasks or data engineering systems with private Snowflake connections, rather than Cognition’s default managed sandbox. The integration uses an Outpost queue to connect Devin Cloud sessions to Modal infrastructure, where an orchestrator dispatches each session to an isolated sandbox configured with a team’s repository, dependencies, internal registries, credentials, and optional GPU resources. Modal provides fast startup times, custom images, workspace snapshots, scale-to-zero behavior, and support for large-scale sandbox deployment, allowing suspended sessions to resume without re-cloning repositories or reinstalling tools. Teams can initialize and customize separate Outposts for different environments with a single command, isolating their deployments, secrets, and sessions; the alpha became available July 21, 2026, for users with uv, Python 3.11 or later, Modal accounts, and Devin organizations enabled for Outposts.
