Devin can spawn managed Devins, forming a multi-level agent tree
Cognition's Devin Developers account said Devins can start managed Devins of their own, so one task can branch into a tree of Devins several levels deep. According to the post, work split this way takes roughly as long as its slowest part rather than the sum of all parts, meaning task size stops being a reason to postpone work. No version, rollout or availability details were provided.
If nested sub-agents genuinely parallelize work, agent orchestration and throughput limits could shift substantially, though real-world efficiency remains unproven.
