Conventional model routing sucks. It passes benchmarks but fails to write code you'd actually merge. Introducing Devin Fusion, a new hybrid-model harness for agentic coding. In testing, it reduces the cost of Fable-level intelligence by 35% and still feels good to use.

RWAs look a lot like ICOs: - Crypto-native capital formation - Started legit (ie ACRED, BUIDL, etc.) -> quickly becomes hijacked by scammers (ie Altura) - Entire firms dedicated to helping new RWAs get off the ground (legally, technically, etc.) Unlike ICOs, RWAs will stick.
