OpenAI-Windsurf deal failed

Unproofread notes

I published about this earlier that OpenAI acquires Windsurf but turns out the deal was short-lived, and it completely failed now.

As per The Verge news, the OpenAI's Windsurf deal is off now and Windsurf might be going to Google DeepMind. And this has already been confirmed by this post from Logan Kilpatrick announcing about Varun Mohan (CEO, Windsurf) and the team joining DeepMind.

There isn't any news about Google acquiring Windsurf, yet, but most probably, they will be implementing and optimizing Gemini top models in the agentic coding tool. But the thing is Gemini already has the Gemini CLI agentic coding tool, and it will be very interesting to see how this all pans out.

The eyes will be on Cursor AI as well, as Claude CLI is giving tough competition to it.
