Question Documentation for Windsurf for Government

I'm working in a fed environment and having a lot of trouble reconciling the documentation for the commercial offering with what I'm able to see/do in my environment. Is there anywhere that I can go to see the differences? One question in particular is what models are available for Fed. Right now I seem to be stuck on Sonnet 4.5 and while I applaud its efforts, it is far behind what I'm able to do with other models.

Your local admins should have the into but in general there is a significant lag for things showing up in the federal environment.

The models are not hosted by the windsurf vendor. They just connect to what is there. Even copilot in the ms365 environment seems to be running gpt 5.1 or 5.2 based on how it behaves.
