About Windsurf (Codeium)

Windsurf is Codeium's AI-native code editor that pushes beyond simple autocomplete into genuine agentic coding. The centerpiece is Cascade — an AI agent that maintains deep awareness of the entire codebase and can plan and execute multi-file changes to accomplish complex tasks. Unlike editors that respond to single prompts, Cascade handles multi-step workflows: understanding a feature request, identifying all files that need modification, making coordinated changes, running terminal commands, and verifying the result. The Flows mode provides a collaborative interface where the AI and developer work side by side in real time. Supercomplete generates longer, more contextually appropriate code blocks than conventional autocomplete. Built on a VS Code foundation, Windsurf retains compatibility with the vast extension ecosystem. Privacy mode prevents code from leaving the developer's machine. Access to multiple top-tier models including Claude and GPT-4 lets teams choose the best model for each task.
