Devin CLI build lists five silicon-low to silicon-max identifiers

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    Cognition's Devin CLI build 3000.12.28, published November 7, lists silicon-low through silicon-max, directly after four obsidian-3 levels; build 3000.11.234, published October 30, lists none — 5 against 0 in builds 8 days apart.

  2. Why it matters

    Five new model identifiers appearing in Cognition's npm package within eight days signals an undisclosed model family is being wired into Devin before any public description; matching effort-level names show how Devin labels models, not who built them.

WHO IT HITSDevelopers and procurement teams choosing coding agents like Devin may soon see a Silicon model option they cannot yet evaluate; competing tool vendors may spot rival models in third-party packages before any vendor announcement.

Context & Analysis

The Silicon identifiers did not arrive alone. In build 3000.12.28, they sit directly after four obsidian-3 levels, which in turn follow five claude-haiku-5-5 levels — the same five-level naming pattern Devin uses for Claude Opus 5.5 and Claude Haiku 5.5. That ordering is what prompted X users to treat the new family as another entry in the same lineup, but the same document also shows how Devin labels effort levels generally.

Obsidian 3 has its own trail. An October 28 update on Cognition's FrontierCode test recalled an archived data file listing Obsidian 3 at 46.8%, above Claude Opus 5.5's 45.5%, before the entry was removed; that file gave Obsidian 3 a chart colour associated with Muse Wonder 1.0 rather than Claude models. The pattern the inspectors describe is that a third-party company's own files can surface a model name before any lab page does.

The key gap is attribution. The codename claude-donut-eap does not appear in build 3000.12.28, and no identifier ending in -eap does, so the donut-to-silicon mapping could not be checked; the original posts describe build 3000.12.17, which is not on npm. Matching effort-level names show how Devin labels models, not who built them, and neither Anthropic nor Cognition has described Silicon on any page found.

FAQ
Which build lists the Silicon models?
Build 3000.12.28, published November 7, lists silicon-low, silicon-medium, silicon-high, silicon-xhigh and silicon-max. Build 3000.11.234, published October 30, lists none.
Did Anthropic confirm it makes Silicon?
No. Anthropic has not announced a model called Silicon, and the identifiers do not name the lab behind it. The link rests on a codename prefix and matching effort-level names.
Who first spotted the codename?
@abhinavflac posted at 03:43 UTC on November 7 that claude-donut-eap 'just appeared in Devin's CLI (build 3000.12.17, Nov 6),' adding: 'Nothing confirmed, I'm only reading the build.'
