AI 编程代理 Devin 的开发商 Cognition 据称已开始与投资人接触,讨论新一轮融资。若交易推进顺利,这家 AI 公司估值可能升至 400 亿美元,较其今年 5 月上一轮融资时的 260 亿美元进一步抬升。

估值或升至400亿美元

彭博援引知情人士称,这轮融资对应的估值基础之一,是公司有望达到 10 亿美元年化收入。就在三个月前,Cognition 刚完成 10 亿美元融资,当时的估值为 260 亿美元。

从时间间隔看,这意味着公司在上一轮融资后不久,就再次进入融资洽谈阶段。对一级市场而言,这通常反映出投资人对 AI 应用层公司的增长预期仍然很高,尤其是具备明确收入能力的企业软件公司。

此前披露年化收入4.92亿美元

Cognition 联合创始人 Scott Wu 今年 5 月曾向 TechCrunch 表示,公司当时的年化收入已达到 4.92 亿美元。按他的说法,企业客户对 Devin 的使用量在过去六个月里保持每月 50% 的增长。

如果这一增长趋势延续,公司收入规模继续上行并不意外。此次市场传出的 400 亿美元估值,也与其收入快速扩张的预期直接相关。

  • 今年 5 月完成 10 亿美元融资
  • 当时公司估值为 260 亿美元
  • 最新传闻估值或升至 400 亿美元

企业客户扩张推动增长

Scott Wu 此前还表示,Devin 并不是以替代人工程序员为卖点。它更多承担开发流程中耗时、重复、但价值相对有限的工作,例如更新老旧软件,或将应用从一个平台迁移到另一个平台。

这类任务长期存在于大型企业的软件维护流程中,也更容易形成稳定付费需求。Cognition 称,其客户包括梅赛德斯-奔驰、美国国家航空航天局(NASA)和高盛。

从现有信息看,市场关注点已不只是 Devin 的产品热度,而是这类 AI 编程代理能否持续转化为大规模企业收入。若新一轮融资成行,Cognition 很可能成为 AI 应用赛道中估值最高的公司之一。
