Modal and Cognition launch Devin Outposts with modal-devin sandbox integration

Modal is a launch partner for Devin Outposts, a Cognition feature that moves Devin's code execution into an environment the customer controls while Devin's reasoning stays in Cognition's cloud. The open-source modal-devin library and CLI runs each Outpost session in a Modal Sandbox, giving access to GPU-backed machines, custom images, workspace snapshotting and scale-to-zero, and it is live in alpha starting July 21, 2026. Setup uses uvx modal-devin init, which generates an orchestrator function and a worker session function that teams can keep customizing.
