Love the intention behind @Windsurf Codemaps, which are "AI-annotated structured maps of your code, powered by SWE-1.5 and Claude Sonnet 4.5." to enable "hyper-contextualized codebase understanding, grounded in precise code navigation".
Or put another way: a map to help find your way in a thicket of vibed spaghetti code.
Windsurf 2.0 turns your IDE into a command center for managing dozens of AI agents at once. New: the Agent Command Center gives you a Kanban view of every agent running across local and cloud environments. Spaces group agent sessions, PRs, and files by project so context carries over. Plus, Devin — an autonomous cloud agent with its own VM — is now built in. Delegate tasks with one click, keep coding locally (or close your laptop), and review PRs when they're ready. Included with every plan.
There's a lot of options for models these days. I've been using Claude 3.7 but I'm curious what's been working well for others. What model are you using and why?
Is the thinking version of @Claude by Anthropic worth the extra credit spend? Does @DeepSeek work well enough to save some credits? Is it worth trying any of the @ChatGPT by OpenAI models?
Windsurf is an IDE that enables anyone to collaborate in lockstep with AI. Built by the Codeium team, the Windsurf Editor combines the best of copilot and agent systems to help you ship products faster, leveraging better context to provide better suggestions.
As Cascade has gotten better, we noticed that the tasks users are giving it have gotten more complex. Instead of just asking Cascade to make simple edits, users are relying on Cascade to build out entire features, perform large refactors, and implement PRs end to end. More complex tasks mean longer prompts with more information which can often be laborious to type out. In this wave, we re bringing voice support to Cascade. This means that users can just speak to Cascade rather than having to type things out (though it doesn t talk back yet)
The modern coding superpower. State-of-the-art suggestions on 30+ languages in your IDE: VSCode, JetBrains, Vim/Neovim, Emacs, and uniquely as a Chrome extension, enabling it on notebooks (Jupyter, Colab, etc), websites like JSFiddle, and web IDEs like Gitpod.
