OpenAI Pursues Windsurf After Cursor Declines Acquisition Offer
Anysphere's AI coding assistant, Cursor, has experienced rapid growth, prompting the company to reject acquisition offers from OpenAI. Cursor's annual recurring revenue has reached approximately $300 million, doubling every two months. Despite interest from OpenAI, Anysphere aims to remain independent and is in discussions to raise capital at a $10 billion valuation. OpenAI is now focusing on acquiring Windsurf, another fast-growing coding startup with a $3 billion offer. This strategic shift comes as OpenAI faces increasing competition from other AI model developers.
