OpenAI Plans to Acquire AI Coding Tool Company Windsurf for $3 Billion

OpenAI is planning to acquire AI coding tool company Windsurf (formerly Codeium) for approximately $3 billion. This would be OpenAI's largest acquisition to date.

The AI coding tools developed by Windsurf can generate code through natural language, competing with GitHub Copilot and Cursor. This acquisition by OpenAI will enhance its competitiveness in the AI developer tools market, and combine with the latest o3 and o4-mini models to improve ChatGPT's coding capabilities.

The deal has not been finalized yet, and the terms may change. Industry insiders believe that this move signals an acceleration of integration in the AI industry, and OpenAI is strengthening its technology ecosystem through acquisitions.
