We first began as Exafunction in 2021, focused on optimizing GPU workloads to unlock the potential of deep learning. By 2022, we saw a clearer vision and rebranded to Codeium, integrating vertically into the application layer to bring AI-powered coding extensions to every IDE possible. Fast forward a little bit, and it’s November 2024, the month we launched the Windsurf Editor, the first agentic IDE.

Now, we know you’ve seen this timeline before, but here’s the point. We’ve always been on this path of evolution, constantly innovating to meet the demands of technology. But, with the Windsurf Editor, it was different. It wasn’t just another product release. It was a turning point, uniquely redefining who we are as a company and what we could really bring to developers everywhere.

So, what’s changing now? Today, we are proud to officially rebrand our company to Windsurf. From individual developers to enterprise customers, we’ve already reached more than hundreds of thousands of users who’ve embraced the magic of the Editor. With the original launch of the Editor, we not only saw the power of the “agentic”, but also a glimpse of what we, as a company, can offer beyond just helping to write code.

What’s Next?

In many ways this transition was inevitable. After all, the majority of you already recognize us more frequently as Windsurf as compared to Codeium. And, while Codeium felt like the right name at the start of this journey, Windsurf truly reflects the totality of where we’re headed: combining human and machine to result in experiences that feel and appear effortlessly powerful. As the community grows and our mission renews, we’re excited to:

Continue iterating on our flagship product, the Windsurf Editor, wave by wave
Rebrand the original Codeium Extensions to the “Windsurf Plugins”
Introduce new products under the Windsurf ecosystem

In just a few months, the Windsurf Editor has made a real “splash”, showing developers what’s possible with AI-assisted coding. Now, as Windsurf the company, we’re ready to bring the next “wave” of what AI can do for the future of software development. Surf’s up and enjoy the ride!
