Devin Desktop

The Agent-First IDE (formerly Codeium/Windsurf)

Codeium became Windsurf, then was acquired by Cognition and relaunched as Devin Desktop (June 2026): an agent-first IDE with the SWE-1.5 model and an Agent Command Center.

Strengths

  • Agent Command Center: Kanban of local and cloud agent sessions
  • Fast proprietary SWE-1.5 model
  • Open Agent Client Protocol: run Codex/Claude agents inside it
  • Cheap at $20/month
  • Backed by Cognition (makers of Devin)
  • Devin Local: new Rust-based agent replacing Cascade, ~30% more token efficient with subagent support

Considerations

  • Brand churn (Codeium → Windsurf → Devin Desktop) confuses users
  • Lost momentum to Cursor and Claude Code
  • Cascade agent EOL July 1, 2026; users migrating to Devin Local may hit teething issues
