News about software development tooling driven by artificial intelligence. Cursor, Codeium, Copilot, and every new tool that pops up each day.
Windsurf Wave 9 is here: a frontier model built for software engineering. Introducing our new family of models: SWE-1, SWE-1-lite, and SWE-1-mini. Based on internal evals, it has performance nearing that of frontier models from the foundation labs. Available now, only in Windsurf!
Windsurf Wave 8 is here! It’s a big one, so this week we’ll be rolling it out in 3 parts. Day one of Wave 8 focuses on Teams & Enterprises: 📄Windsurf Reviews 📂Knowledge Base 💬Conversation Sharing 🚀Teams Deploys 📊Improved Analytics for Cascade 👥Enterprise + Teams Self Serve Update
Windsurf o4-mini is now available on Windsurf. Free for all users until the end of this week!
Windsurf For the next seven days, get free unlimited GPT-4.1 on Windsurf, on us. That’s right, free. We are very excited about GPT-4.1 given our internal evals. We have rate limits to prevent abuse, so go build without worrying about credits.
Windsurf Wave 7 is here! We made Cascade available on JetBrains IDEs. Now JetBrains developers have access to the multi-step agentic experience that Cascade provides. Oh and btw, we're no longer going by Codeium... everything is Windsurf! 🏄
Windsurf Wave 5 is here! Headlining this update: ⏩ Windsurf Tab We've made huge improvements to our passive predictive Tab experience, which is now much faster and handles more context. It's also free to use for everyone, with no limits! Also included are context, performance, and credit improvements.
Windsurf Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Thinking) are now available in Windsurf!
Windsurf Gemini 2.0 Flash is now available in Windsurf! From our testing, Flash is: ⚡ blazingly fast 💪 efficient - only consumes 0.25X credits 🧠 limited in its tool calling ability, but great for questions about your codebase
Windsurf DeepSeek R1 and V3 are now available in Windsurf, fully hosted on Western servers. We implemented tool calling in R1, enabling it to be used in a coding agent for the first time

@lycfyi.bsky.social Staying alive until you make it! TIL Cursor initially started as an email writing tool before pivoting. 🤯 This is way more inspiring, more touching, and more likely to be learned from than some founders' "earning 100,000 dollars in 2 days" story
Alvin Chang At last, Cursor finally adapted the "generate commit message" button from VSCode 🥺
Jenxi Seow 萧晨熙 How AI became my dev partner. I shared about how Cursor AI supercharged my site migration. Here’s a deep dive into my experiment with what is probably the biggest thing in the developer industry this year.
Daniel Cranney I asked Cursor + Claude to respond like they're British, so it (a) has a monocle (!?) (b) writes responses like formal letters and (c) apologises for everything. It's perfect 🥹
