Product: IDE plugins

Gemini 3 Flash is now available for all users. This model combines Gemini 3 Pro-grade reasoning with Flash-level speed and efficiency, making it ideal for agentic workflows and co…

What changed

  • Blazing Fast Responses: Experience near-instant feedback with 3x faster performance than previous generations, perfect for iterative development compared to Gemini 3 Pro
  • Superior Coding Intelligence: Outperforms even Pro-tier models on key coding benchmarks (78% on SWE-bench Verified), providing more accurate code generation and debugging
  • Deep Multimodal Understanding: Easily process complex video, data extraction, and visual Q&A tasks with frontier-level reasoning
  • You can already run multiple Cascade sessions in Windsurf at the same time. Now, you can view and interact with them in separate panes and tabs within the same window.
  • This lets you monitor progress and compare outputs of sessions side-by-side.
  • When a model’s context window grows too long, earlier context can be dropped without warning and performance can degrade.
  • Cascade already extends the window by occasionally summarizing messages and clearing history.
  • This release adds a visual indicator to see how much of your context window is currently in use, helping you anticipate limits and decide when to start a new session.
