AI-native IDE (formerly Codeium) with Cascade agent mode, codebase awareness, and autocomplete powered by proprietary and frontier models.
Details
Windsurf is an AI-native IDE with Cascade agent mode that handles multi-file refactors, feature implementation, and debugging tasks autonomously. It evolved from Codeium’s enterprise AI coding tools and is now a full editor competing with Cursor. Windsurf supports frontier models, on-prem deployments for enterprises, and strong codebase awareness through retrieval. Windsurf was acquired by OpenAI in 2025, signaling its strategic importance in the AI coding tools market.
