I don't get it, surely they can build it for less than $3B, and why would they need the Windsurf brand?

Does it mean that OpenAI is realising that Llms are not going to improve that much so they are trying to expand horizontally.

The only official-ish statement I’ve seen on this:<p>&gt; Hey all this is speculation, probably stemming from earlier in the week when we had the joint livestream with OpenAI.<p>&gt; There’s a ton of interest and attention on Windsurf rn which is awesome, but we are 100 percent focused on building amazing products.<p>&gt; Not sure where this article came from, but we have some amazing updates next week that are gonna blow your socks off<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;windsurf&#x2F;s&#x2F;0CR07Qwkf9" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;windsurf&#x2F;s&#x2F;0CR07Qwkf9</a>

I use Windsurf, but I only use Claude, it&#x27;s just worked far better for me than OpenAI&#x27;s models.

Sure, why not? If OpenAI wants to have their own social network, might as well have their own IDE too.

Hmm... I thought they would buy Cursor yesterday. [0]<p>Anyway, it always makes sense to buy something much cheaper.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=43698819">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=43698819</a>

This would make a lot of sense for both sides I think. Owning the part of the stack that decides where the inference requests go is like Google owning the browser.

Didn&#x27;t Windsurf just come out a few months ago? Wish I could read the article to understand how that number was reached.

And people say there&#x27;s no AI bubble...<p>I wonder what Cursor&#x27;s market value is at this point. Definitey north of $10B right? Their founders and investors would be wise to exit while the AI market is still hot (and the rest is not).

Has anyone used both Windsurf and Cursor? Which is preferable?

Didn’t think Major M&amp;A’s from OpenAI would start this early.

It&#x27;s not Adobe Dreamweaver with a chatbot plus a DAG-style job GUI, it&#x27;s an agentic IDE ecosystem for $3B. But seriously, what am I missing here?
