Devin Desktop, formerly Codeium and then Windsurf, is an AI coding editor now under Cognition AI. See its 2026 rebrand, pricing, and features.
This AI coding tool has changed names twice since its 2021 founding as Exafunction. It became Codeium in 2022 as an AI autocomplete plugin, then Windsurf in late 2024 as a full standalone AI-native code editor built around an agentic mode called Cascade.
In December 2025, Cognition AI (maker of the Devin coding agent) acquired Windsurf, and on June 2, 2026 rebranded it to Devin Desktop. The rebrand was delivered as an update to existing installs, preserving accounts, plans, and configuration, with Devin Local replacing Cascade as the built-in agent.
The product combines traditional AI autocomplete and in-editor chat with agentic task execution: an agent can read a codebase, plan multi-step changes, edit multiple files, and run commands with developer oversight.
The Agent Command Center presents a Kanban-style view of local and cloud agents, and the editor supports the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), letting outside agents such as Codex, Claude Agent, and Gemini CLI run inside the same interface. Editor plugins remain available for VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and other environments for developers who don't want the full standalone app.
The Free plan offers unlimited basic autocomplete, in-editor chat, and limited agent usage across 70+ programming languages with no credit card required. Paid tiers are Pro at $20/month, Max at $200/month, and Teams at $80/month plus $40 per seat.
Enterprise pricing is custom and, per Cognition's documentation, legacy Windsurf Enterprise contracts continue to be honored under the Devin Desktop name.
No. Codeium became Windsurf in late 2024, and Windsurf was rebranded to Devin Desktop by Cognition AI on June 2, 2026. Codeium now refers to the underlying authentication and backend technology.
No. Cognition shipped Devin Desktop as an over-the-air update to existing Windsurf installs, carrying over accounts, plans, extensions, keybindings, and MCP connections.
Cascade, Windsurf's original built-in agent, reached end of life on July 1, 2026, and was replaced by Devin Local, a Rust-based agent reported to be roughly 30% more token-efficient.
No. Cognition's documentation states pricing is unchanged through the rebrand, including for legacy Windsurf Enterprise plans.
Cognition AI, the developer of the Devin autonomous coding agent, acquired Windsurf in December 2025 for a reported price of about $250 million.
