Handoff to the cloud in Devin
The Handoff to the cloud feature in Devin allows users to transfer a task to a remote Devin session. This feature is accessible through the /handoff command in the Devin CLI. The Handoff feature shows up in various parts of the Devin interface, including the model picker and the cloud agents tray. Over the releases, the Handoff feature has undergone changes, starting from its introduction in the 2026-04-17 release, where it was made generally available. In the 2026-09-21 release, the /handoff command was added to bring a cloud session’s pull request branch into a local session. The feature continued to evolve in subsequent releases, including the 2026-10-14 and 2026-10-22 releases, where improvements were made to the steering and model picker. The 2026-11-06 release added more features, including the ability to pin models and set permission modes.
