OpenAI Eyes $3B Acquisition of Windsurf After Unsuccessful Talks with Cursor Maker

OpenAI is in advanced discussions to acquire Windsurf, an AI coding assistant formerly known as Codeium, for over $3 billion. This move follows unsuccessful acquisition attempts of Anysphere, the creator of Cursor, which boasts a higher annual recurring revenue (ARR) of approximately $200 million compared to Windsurf's $40 million. The potential acquisition underscores OpenAI's strategic push to dominate the AI-driven code generation market.
