Windsurf Wave 13 took #1 in the LogRocket Power Rankings with Arena Mode (A/B test models on your codebase), Plan Mode, and 5 parallel agents in Git worktrees at $15/mo. Cursor 2.0 counters with 8 parallel agents, async subagent trees, and Composer at 4x speed. Kimi K2.5 crashed the top 5 as the first open-source entry with a 100-agent swarm and 76.8% SWE-bench. The single-agent paradigm is over — choose your tool based on workflow fit, not raw model quality. Windsurf Blog | Cursor 2.4 | Kimi K2.5

The February rankings reshuffled: Windsurf #1 (Arena Mode for side-by-side model comparison), Antigravity (Google) #2, Cursor #3 (8 async subagents + Multi-Agent Judging), Kimi Code NEW at #4 — the first open-source tool in the top 5 with 100-agent swarm capability backed by K...
Windsurf's Wave 13 makes SWE-1.5 free for all users for 3 months (full SWE-Bench-Pro performance). Five concurrent parallel Cascade agents via git worktrees. Arena Mode for blind A/B comparison with voting. Plan Mode as pre-implementation planning. GPT-5.2-Codex support with f...
The LogRocket February 2026 Power Rankings reshuffled: | Rank | Tool | Price | Key Feature | |------|------|-------|-------------| | 1 | Windsurf | $15/mo | Arena Mode + parallel worktrees | | 2 | Antigravity (Google) | Free-$250 | Deep Google ecosystem integration | | 3 | Cur...
Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.5 debuted at #4 in LogRocket with the Kimi Code CLI — a terminal-first agent competing with Claude Code and Gemini CLI. The standout feature: Agent Swarm spawns up to 100 sub-agents executing parallel workflows across 1,500 tool calls, reducing execution...
Raw coding capability is no longer a moat. Cursor just proved it with numbers that are hard to argue with. Cursor released Composer 2.5 on May 18, built on Moonshot AI's open-weight Kimi K2.5, a 1-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts model that activates just 32 billion param...
Arena Mode is the standout. Run two agents on the same prompt with hidden model identities, vote on which performs better. 40K+ votes so far. Key finding from the community leaderboard: speed beats intelligence in most real-world tasks (Gemini 3 Flash beats Gemini 3 Pro). Plan...
