Cognition says Flash cuts coding costs
Hey, fellow builders, Cognition reports a cheaper option for routine coding work in Devin, with a price and speed comparison to help you choose. We also have a copyable Claude prompt for requesting video hooks and a short script.
In today’s edition
- Devin adds a cheaper model for coding.
Cognition says Flash cuts the price of coding work
SWE-2 Flash gives you a lower-cost option for coding work in Devin. Cognition says it runs at 3x the speed and one-fifth the price of its larger SWE-2 model.
- It’s available in Devin Desktop and CLI.
- Cognition built it for work such as automations, code review, feature development, and documentation updates.
What it means Try Flash for your next documentation update or code review in Devin if SWE-2’s cost is limiting your routine agent work.

How to draft a short video with a stronger opening
Shared by God of Prompt (@godofprompt) · View original post ↗
Creators turning a topic into a short video can use this prompt to ask Claude for several openings, three finalists, and a 30-second script around one idea.
- In Claude, paste the prompt below. Replace [topic] and [who] with your video topic and intended audience.
|
You're a short-form editor who studies videos with 10M+ views. My topic: [topic]. My audience: [who].
Write 10 hooks for the first 2 seconds. Each must create a gap the viewer needs closed: a number that feels wrong, a result without the method, or a mistake they're making right now.
Pick the best 3 and explain why in one line each.
Write a 30-second script for the winner: one idea, a reveal at second 15, no intro.
End on a line that loops to the first frame.
