Windsurf (by Codeium)

by Codeium

Windsurf is an AI-native IDE built on VS Code by Codeium, featuring the Cascade agentic system for autonomous multi-file editing, terminal integration, and codebase-aware task execution. In 2026 it evolved into Devin Desktop, a unified command center for managing local and cloud-based coding agents. It supports multiple frontier models including Claude, GPT-5.4, and Codeium's proprietary SWE-1.5.
