Report: OpenAI is buying AI-powered developer platform Windsurf — what happens to its support for rival LLMs?

Software supplied by Openai, a large language models (LLS), the program equipped with a $ 3 billion melody (LLM) is the greatest public access to purchase the developer tool Bloomberg (unloaded Re-printing Yahoo).

Rumors walked around such an agreement for weeks, but now it seems to happen as it is today, until May 6, 2025 Windsurf CEO and co-founder Harun Mohan, Placement in X last night: “Great announcement tomorrow!”

According to Bloomberg, the deal is designed to help the EU rising in the market for basic coding assistants, and Windsurf, and Windsurf, “Windsurf held around private investments around private investments around the $ 3 billion assessment.

Earlier, which was previously known as the starting coconition, in 2021, MITUs were established by Mohan and Douglas Chen, first established “Safety-focused LLM Toolkiti, providing clever code suggestions in Kodbase context” VentureBeat, reported last year.

As the more users earn, its ambitions were grown, the Windsurf integrated development environment (IDE) began November 2024a fork Microsoft’s visual studio codeAnd then replacing the company’s name. Windsurf was reported to be Now counts more than 800,000 developer user and 1000 enterprises as a client.

As for the Identity and Dev instruments working in LLM, it is far from the only game in the city: Openai Another similar and competitor starting was reported to be in negotiations to get the cursorAnd of course there are Amazon’s Q Developer and GitHub Copilot Both. However, all share ideas that LLMS and AI models intend to write a waiting code to write the software for the near future, human developers to make a code in the blink of an eye to make minutes, hours or manually.

What will happen with the offer of WINDSURF and non-Openai LLMS?

Integration with Openai for users will undoubtedly ask questions.

Part of the Windsurf’s application is a slight model that the developers who use them can choose with the LLM they want to help them write them.

Currently, several large language model options for several large languages ​​for its chat interface are based on the larger LLAM 3.1 70B of the subtle option, and is installed on Windsurf’s domestic substantiation, especially in coding.

Subscribers can access foreign models such as Openai’s GPT-4O and Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet, allow for flexibility in model choice depending on the use.

Openai, select the foreign LLMS of users and GPT-4O, O3, O4, etc. Will you try to eliminate your choice to restrict model families like?

We will see, but because I have doubted it’s very doubt, it succeeded in the comfort of the tool proposals, according to Windsurf’s work. This is likely that the complaints of competitive work events will be raised and even cause some potential courts.

Is it designed to make an use and information game Bolter Openai models against opponents in coding space?

Instead, I imagine that an Openai is a popular developer and users and users who play a tool for using the users and any types of users, and what purposes for the LLS this fronts are competitive.

In both cases, this “Great Freakin Deal” – to paraphrase former President Joe Biden – and undoubtedly, Windsurf will have very remote ripple effects with all user databases and wider advanced pools and a wider pool of AI-Energy.

The windsurf’s discord server is filled with posts of twisting users for the worst – use prices or new access stations or ChatGPT subscribers or Openai API developers.

We will watch and express what is useful for technical decisions. I’m galent!
