What changed
- Battle Groups: Choose specific models to compare or let Windsurf randomly select from curated groups like “fast models” vs “smart models”
- Personal & Global Leaderboards: Your votes contribute to both a personal leaderboard (your preferences) and a global one (across all Windsurf users)
- Sync or Branch: Send followup prompts to both agents simultaneously, or branch and explore different paths individually
- Admins can now set a default model that applies to all team members when they first open Windsurf
- Various bug fixes and performance improvements
