Windsurf Adds Claude Opus 4.7 Fast Mode, Opens Devin Review to All Subscribers

Windsurf added Claude Opus 4.7 in fast mode to the editor on May 12, offering Opus-level intelligence at roughly 2.5x the output speed. A week earlier, version 2.2.17 extended Devin Review to all Pro, Max, and Teams subscribers with a two-week free trial.

Windsurf has added Claude Opus 4.7 in fast mode to the editor, following Anthropic’s rollout of the model in late April. The Windsurf changelog describes it as delivering “the full intelligence of Opus 4.7 but with ~2.5x higher output speeds,” which puts it in line with what Anthropic is offering in Claude Code’s /fast mode.

Fast mode Opus is distinct from standard Opus: the model runs at higher throughput with a corresponding increase in cost per token. Whether that trade is worth it depends on the task. For interactive sessions where waiting on a slow response breaks flow, it’s often a good deal. For overnight batch runs, probably not.

This puts Windsurf consistent with the direction Claude Code took in 2.1.142, which also moved fast mode to Opus 4.7 as the default on May 14.

Devin Review now available to all IDE subscribers

Version 2.2.17, released May 6, opened Devin Review and Quick Review to everyone with an existing Windsurf IDE subscription. Previously, the feature required a separate Cognition platform agreement.

Self-serve subscribers on Pro ($20/mo), Max ($200/mo), and Teams ($40/user/mo) plans get a two-week free trial. After the trial, access continues as part of the plan. Enterprise accounts still need a Cognition agreement to unlock the feature.

Devin Review lets you hand a pull request to Devin for an asynchronous review pass. It reads the diff, examines the broader codebase context, and returns structured feedback. Quick Review is the same thing with a shorter, faster output — better for routine PRs where you want a second pass without a full analysis.

The same v2.2.17 release added list display options for the Agent Command Center inbox, improved session sorting and filtering, and fixed a Windows update bug that had been preventing installation for some users (the fix required closing any running devin.exe processes before updating). Several MCP server compatibility issues were also resolved.

Context

Windsurf is owned by Cognition, which acquired it in July 2025. Devin was Cognition’s original product before the acquisition. The Windsurf 2.0 release in April 2026 brought Devin directly into the IDE through the Agent Command Center, a Kanban-style view of local and cloud agent sessions. The Devin Review expansion in 2.2.17 is the next step: making Devin’s review capabilities available to the full subscriber base without requiring a separate commercial agreement.

For developers who primarily use Windsurf as a coding environment, the relevant change is practical: you now have a pull request reviewer built into the same tool you’re using to write the code.
