Codeium, an AI coding platform, has integrated Anthropic’s Claude into Windsurf, a collaborative AI-native Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The platform, combined with Codeium’s Cascade AI agent, helps developers write code and manage complex codebases efficiently.
According to Codeium, Windsurf’s launch resulted in rapid adoption, with over 10,000 users signing up within two days and reaching hundreds of thousands by the second week. The company has also observed high user retention, with developers switching to Windsurf full-time.
“Claude powers some of the reasoning and planning parts of Cascade,” said Anshul Ramachandran, a representative from Codeium. “When a developer is working, Claude looks at everything that’s happened in their session and figures out the best next steps, maintaining that full context throughout the conversation.”
Codeium, which serves over 800,000 active users and 1,000 enterprise customers, mentioned that nearly half of all new committed code in companies using its platform is generated by its AI tools.
