Summary

This is a short post with a video (no speech) from Melvin Vivas. It shows that the AI coding agent Devin lets you pick from many models, including the leading open models. His point: if you keep hitting usage limits or want to spend less, you can switch to a different model instead of relying on just one.

Key points

• Devin offers a wide selection of models to choose from.
• Devin also supports the leading open models, not only proprietary ones.
• If you hit usage limits, switch to another model and keep working.
• Picking cheaper or open models is a way to cut costs when using AI coding agents.
