OpenAI Eyes Windsurf Acquisition for $3B After Failed Talks with Cursor Maker
OpenAI is reportedly in talks to acquire Windsurf, an AI coding company, for $3 billion, after unsuccessful acquisition discussions with Anysphere, the parent company of Cursor. The OpenAI Startup Fund had previously invested in Anysphere, but negotiations did not materialize. Meanwhile, Anysphere is seeking to raise capital at a valuation of approximately $10 billion. OpenAI's shift in focus to Windsurf highlights its strategy to secure a foothold in the lucrative code generation market, as Windsurf currently generates around $40 million in annual revenue, compared to Cursor's $200 million.
