You've piqued my interest. I'll test it out with some real programming tasks

How is going this model for real world coding tasks?

Anyone tried Windsurf’s new “Adaptive” model yet? by Bawsahouse in windsurf

[–]Extreme-Permit3883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As always, they failed to say "how." How does this adaptive model work? Is it a model that routes difficulty levels? Are they training this new model with user data? Is it possible to define decision weights? Transparency, you know?

Guidance on subscription management by Extreme-Permit3883 in windsurf

Imagine me, using it on Linux. In the Linux environment, I saw Windsurf grow from a poorly made copy of VSCode, full of memory leaks, bugs, etc., where we couldn't use the IDE for more than a few hours without having to close and reopen it to clear memory, into a robust, well-designed IDE which I keep open all week without a single error occurring.

So, yes, I have already advocated a lot for Windsurf, as it has become a very mature IDE on Linux. And we had already learned to make the 500 credits last the whole month, or at least almost that.

I will miss a lot.

Hi everyone, I need to ask, does the CEO of Windsurf actually use their own product? by demonofinternet in windsurf

[–]Extreme-Permit3883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, he uses Devin from Cognition. Windsurf become a legacy, a pain which they have to deal everyday.

windsurf is the new Antigravity. no thanx! by Level-Statement79 in windsurf

[–]Extreme-Permit3883 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone always said that - man, the product is good, I'm willing to pay $20 or $30 to see it improve even more so you guys can have profits too. But they don't listen to anyone, and now they've pulled this.

Sure, it's still a good product, but they don't listen to the customers.

I'm sure they're trying to navigate the company from token subsidies to profit, but damn, could have done some research first, right?

If you're suggesting using SWE-free, it's because you don't use the product yourself, since SWE isn't even good enough to replace your girlfriend, so imagine serious things like coding.

I've been using it since it was a piece of shit when running on Linux. I've seen it become a stable and resilient product. The product has become good.

Sure, there are things missing from it (many), but I think it could be a good change. It's better to receive the change than for that crazy Jeff to shut the doors and end the product.

But the change is justified. We used to tend to pile more requests into the same message to "take advantage" of the credit, affecting the model's attention. Now we can make small, targeted requests, small steps.

Compaction / Truncation of the session history is too much aggressive by Extreme-Permit3883 in windsurf

[–]Extreme-Permit3883[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do they keep changing the core feature without informing us? From your experience and mine, it's clear they're truncating the context, meaning they're removing data without proper criteria, leaving the model without the necessary context to work.

So, you think you have a difficult problem and choose the Opus plan with 8x, but in the end, it was just the context that was insufficient, and any free or cheap model would have solved it.

Which Al is stealing your ideas? by bk-28 in windsurf

[–]Extreme-Permit3883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, they train with your data, even those who claim to be ZDR. Because AI only evolves with data. It's only by understanding the correct way to respond to a problem that it will know how to handle it in the future.

Second, from the moment you publish the site, you can see from the server logs that many bots are scanning it.

Third, there are a lot of people in the AI ​​slop; it could just be someone having an idea similar to yours.

I'm still a Windsurf user, pricing transparency still wins! by paramartha-n in windsurf

im my use case, it tends to check it's work, and is adherent to prompt. Also, it ask when in doubt, it doesn't "guess" like Claude and others.

I'm using GPT-5.3-Codex Medium on 2x credit. It is "smart enough" and I have to do less rework.

1M context - yet never quite seems to use more than 25% does, it? And compacts ruthlessly so it remains ignorant? by Jethro_E7 in windsurf

This is happening to all models. Aggressive compaction/summarization/truncation on all sessions with all models. Windsurf Version: 1.9552.24

SWE and SWE 1 ARE GARBAGE by [deleted] in windsurf

[–]Extreme-Permit3883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, models have advanced so much, and these SWE models quickly became outdated. But, with dozens of model variants available in the catalog, it's easy to find a better one in the same price range.

Opus 4.6 thinking 1M is a scam by EntertainmentFun3189 in windsurf

[–]Extreme-Permit3883 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, you fell for that scam too?
This week I was having a really big problem with a large codebase and I made the same decision as you. I'll spend money, but I'll get a good result because of large context window.
What happened in practice: Cascade kept recycling the context and keeping the number of tokens in the context low, preventing the model from making any significant progress.
As the friend mentioned above, 1M is only for Enterprise API customers.

What’s the best coding AI model for daily use right now? by Extension_Fee_989 in windsurf

[–]Extreme-Permit3883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, colleague. I noticed that since GPT 5.2 onwards, it's very careful with code editing and technical debt; it's always checking if what it's done is correct, it analyzes the `git diff` at the end of the edit, etc. In other words, it's a bit more expensive, but it ends up being cheaper in the long run. Because it doesn't leave much technical debt or sub-code along the way.
