Cognition has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Windsurf. The acquisition includes Windsurf’s IP, product, trademark and brand, and strong business. Above all, it includes Windsurf’s world-class people, whom we’re privileged to welcome to our team. We are also honoring their talent and hard work in building Windsurf into the great business it is today. This transaction is structured so that 100% of Windsurf employees will participate financially. They will also have all vesting cliffs waived and will receive fully accelerated vesting for their work to date. At Cognition we have focused on developing robust and secure autonomous agents, while Windsurf has pioneered the agentic IDE. Devin + Windsurf are a powerful combination for the developers we serve. Working side by side, we’ll soon enable you to plan tasks in an IDE powered by Devin’s codebase understanding, delegate chunks of work to multiple Devins in parallel, complete the highest-leverage parts yourself with the help of autocomplete, and stitch it all back together in the same IDE. Cognition and Windsurf are united behind a shared vision for the future of software engineering, and there’s never been a better time to build. Welcome to our new colleagues from Windsurf!

Windsurf just announced Wave 4. It takes AI coding to a whole new level with so many incredible features. 8 wild examples:

This is slick: Click on an element in the IDE's embedded browser and it will inject it into agent context. v0-style features creeping into the IDE.

WindSurf Wave4 的大更新来了 最大的更新是内置了一个可交互的预览功能,配合新的 Claude 3.7 可以说是如虎添翼。 最近大家都在用 Claude 3.7 生成高保真原型或者设计图,但是如果要修改某个元素,描述起来是非常麻烦的。 wave4 的这个预览就解决了这个问题,只需要点击一下需要修改的元素,就可以在chat里直接针对这个元素输入指令进行更改。 此外,网站出现错误的时候,也会自动和AI助手分享这个错误信息,方便排查。 除此之外 WindSurf Wave4 还带来了这些新功能: - 新增了 tab 导入功能,可以通过 tab 添加新的依赖项目。 - 建议操作,模型完成输出后,会提供建议的操作按钮。 - Linter 集成,AI 助手写完代码之后,Linter 会自动检查并修复问题 - MCP 服务器的相关优化,可以更方便地添加 MCP 服务器 - 更方便的模型管理 压力又给到了 cursor 那边。。。

Windsurf just dropped Wave 4. AI coding is now faster, smarter, effortless with Auto-fix, Instant imports & AI debugging. Here’s what makes it so powerful than others:

Wow this “wave” is amazing, but the Previews and “DOM context” blew my mind 😱🤯 Windsurf just hit Bolt and Loveable real hard IMHO. It’s making life so much easier for non-coders to build apps. Windsurf is coming crazy! 🚀🌊

🎉 gpt-4.5 available in @windsurf_ai on rolling beta! Excited to see what windsurfers build with it — let's goooo 🏄 *note: benchmarks show it's not the best code model and it's crazy expensive so tbd if it'll be a good daily driver for folks

Claude 3.7 Sonnet in Windsurf is a major shift. I asked for a Nextjs project idea for a content creation app and, in less than 10 min, I had an insane prototype. Authentication, pricing, blog, reviews, log in/sign up pages… It has never been easier to start building.

Coding will never be the same again. Windsurf has made coding easier than ever. Their agent, Cascade, is currently the best agent experience on the market. Here’s what makes it so powerful, and better than Cursor's:

9 out of 10 AI-powered IDEs are a scam. I spent weeks testing them, and 90% were a complete waste. Many popular IDEs today give you zero control over your code. Other IDEs, like Cursor, give you control but do not offer a great agent experience. Here, I found the best:
