Working with Codeium’s Windsurf editor is quite exciting. But the only model that can actually shoulder its agent functionality is Claude Sonnet 3.7 (Thinking) in my experience so far - and that costs 25 percent more credits than the other models.

Subscribed to #Codeium to use the AI agent features (“Cascade”) of their VS Code based editor #Windsurf – after being quite impressed after a little bit of testing.

Let’s see how it goes.

New Standard for Enterprise AI Data Integration

#Anthropic launches Model Context Protocol (#MCP), an #opensource standard enabling seamless connection between #AI systems and enterprise data sources

Local MCP server support added to #Claude Desktop with pre-built connectors for #GitHub, #Slack, #GoogleDrive, #Git, and #Postgres

Early adopters #Block and #Apollo integrate MCP, while #Zed, #Replit, #Codeium, and #Sourcegraph enhance their development platforms

Developers can start testing with existing #Claude for Work accounts, access pre-built MCP servers, and contribute to open-source repositories

Protocol eliminates need for separate connectors, allowing AI systems to maintain context across different tools and datasets

For the most part, I enjoy the #Codeium extension for #VisualStudio. More often than not, it auto-completes code and comments that I want.

But just now, I'm typing out weeks in comments:

// Nov 4 - Nov 10
...
// Nov 11- Nov 17
...
// Nov 18 - Nov 24
...

And it just completed for me:

// Nov 25 - Nov 31

Last I checked, there aren't 31 days in November.
