Windsurf ships new models, Linux ARM64, and enterprise hooks
Windsurf rolled out new frontier coding models, full Linux ARM64 support, and enterprise-grade Cascade Hooks while community feedback spotlights its transparent crediting versus rivals' opaque limits. Windsurf’s latest updates add Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.6, GLM-5, Minimax M2.5, and GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark with time-limited credit multipliers, plus quality-of-life fixes and features like automatic Plan→Code switching, skills loading from .agents/skills, tracked rules in post_cascade_response, and diff zones auto-closing on commit; importantly, it now provides full Linux ARM64 deb/rpm packages and enterprise cloud config for Cascade Hooks with Devin service key auth, as detailed in the [Windsurf changelog](https://windsurf.com/changelog). A power user’s comparison underscores cost control and predictability: they favored Windsurf’s clear credit model over Cursor/Claude Code’s rate-limit surprises, keeping GitHub Copilot Pro+ for predictable premium requests while continuing to code primarily in Windsurf, per this [Reddit write-up](https://www.reddit.com/r/windsurf/comments/1r9b58e/i_almost_left_windsurf/).
