After rumors of OpenAI preparing to acquire Windsurf, Anthropic cut off the AI programming assistant's access to its large models Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Claude 3.7 Sonnet. Jared Kaplan, co-founder and chief scientist of Anthropic, said it would be strange to sell Claude to OpenAI for use. Previously, there were reports that OpenAI would acquire Windsurf for $3 billion. Windsurf then said that Anthropic cut off its access to the Claude large model, forcing the company to find a third-party computing provider in a short time. OpenAI and Windsurf declined to comment on the acquisition rumors. Kaplan said the company hopes to reserve its limited computing power for long-term partners.
