In this episode of the Latent Space podcast, hosts Varun and Anshul from Codeium share their exciting journey from developing a VS Code extension to launching their own integrated development environment (IDE), Windsurf. They discuss how limitations in the VS Code API pushed them to create Windsurf, driven by their desire for better control over the development environment to support their AI-driven code generation vision, especially for their innovative product, Cascade. The conversation also delves into their distinctive evaluation methods for AI models in coding, their focus on enterprise solutions, and what’s next for Windsurf, including enhanced agentic features and a more user-friendly experience.
