Problem

Anduril wanted AI coding assistance while keeping confidential source code inside its own environment. Its security requirements restricted hosted coding tools.

Approach

Anduril deployed Codeium, subsequently branded Windsurf, within its environment. The implementation integrated with identity management and self-hosted repositories while respecting access controls. Developers accepted code completions for routine coding work.

Results

many hundreds of hoursdeveloper typing time saved over the preceding months, according to the vendorVendor case study[1]

Takeaway

The vendor measured saved typing time from accepted completions. That measure covered a narrower activity than total software development productivity.
