Devon: An open-source pair programmer

demo.mp4

How do y'all ship so quickly?

← We have a community-driven Dev Team for this repo. Come join us! It's great.

Installation

Prerequisites

node.js and npm
pipx, if you don't have this go here
API Key (just one is required)
- Anthropic
- OpenAI
- Groq (not released in package yet, run locally)

We're currently working on supporting Windows! (Let us know if you can help)

Installation commands

To install, simply run:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/entropy-research/Devon/main/install.sh | bash

Or to install using pipx + npm:

pipx install devon_agent
npm install -g devon-tui

This installs the Python backend, and the cli command to run the tool

Thats it! Happy building :)

Running the agent

Navigate to your project folder and open the terminal.

Set your Anthropic API or OpenAI API key as an environment variable:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

#OR

export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

#OR

export GROQ_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Then to run, the command is:

devon

It's as easy as that.

Note

Don't worry, the agent will be able to only access files and folders in the directory you started it from. You can also correct it while it's performing actions.

To run in debug mode, the command is:

devon --debug

To run in local mode:

Warning

The current version of local model support is not mature, proceed with caution, and expect the performance to degrade significantly compared to the other options.

Get deepseek running with ollama
Start the local ollama server by running

ollama run deepseek-coder:6.7b

Then configure devon to use the model

devon configure

Configuring Devon CLI...
? Select the model name: 
  claude-opus 
  gpt4-o 
  llama-3-70b 
❯ ollama/deepseek-coder:6.7b

And finally, run it with:

devon --api_key=FOSS

For a list of all commands available:

devon --help

Features

Multi-file editing
Codebase exploration
Config writing
Test writing
Bug fixing
Architecture exploration
Local Model Support

Limitations

Minimal functionality for non-Python languages
Sometimes have to specify the file where you want the change to happen
Local mode is not good right now. Please try to avoid using it.

Progress

This project is still super early and we would love your help to make it great!

Current goals

Multi-model support
- Claude 3 Opus
- GPT4-o
- Groq llama3-70b
- Ollama deepseek-6.7b
- Google Gemini 1.5 Pro
Launch plugin system for tool and agent builders
Create self-hostable Electron app
Set SOTA on SWE-bench Lite

How can I contribute?

Devon and the entropy-research org are community-driven, and we welcome contributions from everyone! From tackling issues to building features to creating datasets, there are many ways to get involved:

Core functionality: Help us develop the core agents, user experience, tool integrations, plugins, etc.
Research: Help us research agent performance (including benchmarks!), build data pipelines, and finetune models.
Feedback and Testing: Use Devon, report bugs, suggest features, or provide feedback on usability.

For details, please check CONTRIBUTING.md.

Feedback

We would love feedback! Feel free to drop us a note on our Discord in the #feedback channel, or create issues!

We collect basic event type (i.e. "tool call") and failure telemetry to solve bugs and improve the user experience, but if you want to reach out, we would love to hear from you!

To disable telemetry, set the environment variable DEVON_TELEMETRY_DISABLED to true

export DEVON_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=true
