See past release notes for the full list of the improvements.

Full Desktop Testing

Devin now supports end-to-end testing using computer use and can test any desktop app that can run on Linux. Devin will request to QA its PR, if you approve it, it will run your app, use its desktop to click around, and send you an edited recording of the testing for your review.

Existing users can enable Desktop mode in Settings > Customization.

Devin v3 API Officially Released

The v3 API is coming out of beta and is now the primary API for all Devin functionality. The new API provides all of the legacy API functionality and additionally provides role-based access control, session attribution, and new capabilities.

The legacy APIs (v1 and v2) will be deprecated in the future. The exact date will be announced in the product and in release notes. We commit to providing at least 30 days notice. During the deprecation period, the legacy APIs will continue to work but all new features will only be available in the v3 API.

Sessions List Redesign

The sessions list page has been redesigned with an updated layout featuring inline PR previews, message snippets, and status indicators. Sessions can now also be sorted by creation date.

Wave 14: Arena Mode

Arena Mode brings side-by-side model comparison directly into your IDE, plus Plan Mode for smarter task planning.

Arena Mode

Run two Cascade agents side-by-side with hidden model identities and vote on which performs better. Arena Mode lets you discover which models actually work best for your workflow, codebase, and tasks—not just what benchmarks or influencers say.

• Battle Groups: Choose specific models to compare or let Windsurf randomly select from curated groups like "fast models" vs "smart models"
• Personal & Global Leaderboards: Your votes contribute to both a personal leaderboard (your preferences) and a global one (across all Windsurf users)
• Sync or Branch: Send followup prompts to both agents simultaneously, or branch and explore different paths individually

To get started, select the new Arena tab in the model picker. All battle groups are free for the first week for paid users.

Plan Mode

Plan Mode is a new Cascade mode alongside Code and Ask. Use it to create detailed implementation plans before diving into code.

Pro tip: Type megaplan in the Cascade input box to trigger an advanced form that asks clarifying questions to create a more aligned, comprehensive plan.
