AI coding tool Windsurf announced the re-launch of Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4 model, offering Pro users a monthly quota of 250 API calls (2x credit consumption). The model is known for its 72.7% performance on the SWE-bench test, supports a 200K token context window, and enables code generation and complex refactoring features. Previously, due to Anthropic's restrictions on direct access, Windsurf introduced a BYOK solution. This partnership restoration is being

A dramatic acquisition has recently taken place in the AI coding field: Cognition acquired Windsurf company. Previously, this company had experienced a $2.4 billion reverse talent acquisition by Google and an unsuccessful $3 billion acquisition offer from OpenAI. Windsurf generates $82 million in annual revenue, has 350 enterprise clients, and tens of thousands of daily active users. After the acquisition, Cognition will integrate Windsurf's AI development environment with its own Devin coding assistant and regain access to the Claude AI model. This deal marks another significant move in the competition.

OpenAI's acquisition of Windsurf failed, and Google successfully poached its CEO and core team to join DeepMind. Windsurf, formerly known as Codeium, had raised $200 million in funding and had a valuation of $1.25 billion. Google obtained non-exclusive licensing rights to some of its technology but did not acquire the company. Recently, the popularity of code-generation startups has declined, facing competition from large models like Anthropic and Google. Windsurf will be taken over by its former executives and will continue to operate independently.

After OpenAI's $3B Windsurf acquisition failed, Google DeepMind secured a $2.4B non-exclusive tech license and poached key talent. Windsurf's founders and top researchers will join Google while the company remains independent, showcasing a new 'reverse acquisition' trend in AI where giants boost capabilities through hires and licensing. Most of Windsurf's 250-member team will stay to develop AI coding tools. The OpenAI deal collapsed due to Micro....
