Updated March 2026
AI code editor by Codeium built around the Cascade agent architecture, where the AI maintains a persistent understanding of your entire coding session rather than responding to isolated prompts. Cascade can plan and execute multi-step tasks while the developer continues working, with "flows" that track intent across file edits, terminal commands, and test results. Priced at $15–30/mo as a direct Cursor competitor.

| תוכנית | פרטים |
|---|---|
| חינם | 5 Cascade flows/day, unlimited Tab autocomplete, Codeium chat with limited model access |
| מקצועי | $15/mo — 30 Cascade flows/month, premium models (Claude, GPT-4o); $30/mo — 90 flows/month |
| ארגוני | Custom pricing — SSO, team management, private cloud deployment, audit logs |
Cascade flows reset monthly; unused flows do not roll over; switching models within a flow counts as one flow
Start a new Flow for each distinct feature or bug — don't chain unrelated tasks in one Flow as context degrades
Use Windsurf's built-in terminal for AI-assisted debugging: paste error output and ask for an explanation without switching windows
Enable Live Preview for React/HTML projects — the AI can adjust CSS in real time by describing the desired layout
For free tier users, save Cascade flows for complex multi-file tasks and use Tab autocomplete for the rest

AI agents happily run rm -rf if you let them. I locked one down in 25 minutes with systemd, allowlists, and Signal approvals. Here is the playbook that works.
OpenClaw hit 200K GitHub stars in 84 days. This guide covers install methods, the real security risks, and how to avoid $500/day API bills with model tiering.
Gemini 3.1 Pro scores 77.1% on ARC-AGI-2 and costs 2.5x less than Claude Opus 4.6. But a 35-second time-to-first-token changes how you build with it.
