Details
Codeium was a free AI autocomplete extension that worked in almost any editor: VS Code, JetBrains, Vim, Emacs and more. Its company built the Windsurf editor on top of it and, in April 2025, renamed itself Windsurf, retiring the Codeium brand and renaming the extensions Windsurf Plugin. Cognition bought the Windsurf business later in 2025 and renamed the editor Devin Desktop on 2 June 2026. codeium.com now opens the Devin Desktop site.
The plugins still exist, but Cognition’s documentation lists all of them as in maintenance mode and recommends the Devin Desktop editor, or Devin over ACP inside JetBrains IDEs. For AI completion in your current editor with active development, GitHub Copilot is the usual choice. If you are willing to switch editors, Devin Desktop or Cursor give you completion plus agent features.
Supermaven was the speed king of AI code completion. Built by the creator of Tabnine, it focused on autocomplete with very low latency and a massive context window. Cursor acquired Supermaven in November 2024 and folded its technology into the Cursor editor.
On 21 November 2025 Supermaven announced its sunset. Agent conversations ended, paying customers received refunds for their remaining time, and VS Code users were told to move to Cursor. Existing JetBrains and Neovim customers keep free autocomplete for the foreseeable future. There is no reason to start with Supermaven today: Cursor carries its completion technology, GitHub Copilot works in VS Code and JetBrains, and Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) offers unlimited Tab completions on its free plan.
