Windsurf's CEO Varun Mohan and key researchers are transitioning to Google DeepMind following the cancellation of a $3 billion agreement with OpenAI. Google announced its excitement about incorporating Windsurf's talent into its team, emphasizing an ongoing commitment to enhancing capabilities for developers. Mohan and cofounder Douglas Chen expressed pride in Windsurf's achievements and anticipation for future developments. The cancellation of the OpenAI deal had implications for competition between OpenAI and Microsoft, given Microsoft's involvement as a major investor in OpenAI.
"We're excited to welcome some top AI coding talent from Windsurf's team to Google DeepMind to advance our work in agentic coding."
"We are proud of what Windsurf has built over the last four years and are excited to see it move forward with their world-class team and kick-start the next phase."
