Product: IDE plugins (Next channel)

You can now use Claude Opus 4.5 in Windsurf!

What changed

  • You can now use Claude Opus 4.5 in Windsurf!
  • Opus 4.5 is the most capable model in Windsurf yet and is now available at Sonnet pricing for a limited time (2x credits compared to 20x for Opus 4.1).
  • This model is available to all paid Windsurf subscribers.
  • GPT-5.1 and GPT-5.1-Codex are now available in Windsurf.
  • GPT-5.1 and GPT-5.1-Codex deliver a solid upgrade from GPT-5 for agentic coding workflows. They’re noticeably better at understanding what you’re asking for and working with you to get it done.
  • The new variable thinking feature dynamically adjusts reasoning depth—providing quick responses for simple tasks and more thoughtful analysis when complexity demands it.
  • Priority processing support for GPT-5.1 models, providing guaranteed low-latency responses for faster (~50 tokens/sec), more reliable AI assistance.
  • Priority processing costs 2x the standard rate, which will be reflected in the Windsurf credit system.
