Introducing Adaptive
Windsurf adds an Adaptive model option and a smarter model picker, helping users stretch quota with dynamic model selection and clearer pricing context. It also shows token rates, prompt cache timing, and token counts in response cards for more transparent usage tracking.
We've made several model packaging changes, with more info here.
Adaptive Model Router
A new Adaptive model option is now available in the model picker. Adaptive intelligently selects the best model for each task, helping you make your quota last longer by avoiding overuse of premium models.
- Availability: Now available to all self-serve users on Pro, Max, and Teams plans.
- Dynamic model selection - Automatically chooses the right underlying model for your task while drawing down quota at a fixed per-token rate.
- Extra usage promo - Beyond your quota, extra usage is offered at 0.50 USD per 1M input tokens, 2.00 USD per 1M output tokens, and 0.10 USD per 1M cache read tokens for the next 2 weeks.
Updated Model Picker with Pricing Context
The model picker now shows token pricing information directly, so you can see the exact rate extra usage is billed at.
- Token pricing display - Per-model input, output, and cache read token rates visible in the picker.
- Prompt cache timer - A new prompt cache timer is integrated into the context window indicator to help you track caching status.
- Token counts in response cards - Response cards after messages now include token counts so you can understand exactly how each message cost was calculated.
