FYI, OpenAI acquired Windsurf so valuation is not an issue.

I don’t know Varun (their founder/CEO) personally but I get highly competent vibes from him. I’d let my skeptical self lean on your optimistic take.

I don’t think the acquisition has closed yet, maybe this is still useful for a leverage/negotiating perspective. And it was almost certainly something they were working on before the acquisition anyway.

I do think that’s an overly cynical way to look at this though.
