Tech Talent Tug-of-War
Google Snares Windsurf Leadership: OpenAI Deal Falls Flat!
Last updated:
In a bold move, Google has recruited key figures from the AI coding startup Windsurf, including CEO Varun Mohan, to bolster its DeepMind team. This development squashes rumors of OpenAI's potential $3 billion acquisition of Windsurf. While Google didn't acquire Windsurf directly, it secured a non-exclusive license to leverage Windsurf’s technologies, keeping the startup operational under new interim leadership. This strategic hire reflects Google's commitment to strengthening its AI capabilities, particularly in agentic coding.
