Codeium / Windsurf
Free AI code completion with the Windsurf editor for agentic workflows
What is Codeium / Windsurf?
Codeium is an AI code completion platform that gained rapid adoption by offering a generous free tier with unlimited autocomplete suggestions. Now expanding under the Windsurf brand with its own AI-native editor, the platform combines fast inline completions with a deeper agentic coding experience called Cascade.
The Windsurf editor brings Codeium's AI capabilities into a dedicated coding environment with Cascade, an agentic feature that can plan and execute multi-step coding tasks. It analyzes your codebase context, suggests edits across multiple files, and can even run terminal commands to verify its changes, bridging the gap between simple autocomplete and autonomous coding.
Codeium supports over 70 programming languages and integrates with all major IDEs including VS Code, JetBrains, Vim, and Emacs. Its proprietary models are trained specifically for code, offering fast completions with low latency. The platform emphasizes developer privacy, with options for self-hosted deployment on enterprise plans.
