That’s a pretty bold claim, how come you are not at the top of this list then? https://www.swebench.com/
“Use frontier models like o3, Gemini Pro 2.5, Sonnet 3.7” Is this unlimited usage? Or number of messages/tokens?
Why do you need a separate desktop app? Why not CLI or VS Code extension.
I don’t understand why do you need a separate UI instead of using local IDE (Cursor/Windsurf), vs code extension (augment) or CLI (Amazon Q developer). Please do not reinvent the wheel.
It should one-shot this. I’ve run complex workflows and the time I save is astonishing.
I only run agents locally in a sandbox, not in production.
[Dev mode] While working on Alembic migrations I broke one of my migration files. After an hour of manual debugging I handed the task to WindSurf. It methodically checked every config file, applied the migrations one by one, and narrowed the issue to a single file. It rewrote the migration, verified the fix, wrote tests, ensured everything passed, and opened a PR. I reviewed it and it worked flawlessly.
Regarding the acquisition I don’t understand why OAI would pay $3 B. The team is strong, they have lots of data, and the agentic flow is great, but all of that feels commoditized.
Claude Code launched two months ago and I prefer it to WindSurf, Cursor, and Aider. Augment Code also ranks above WindSurf for me.
If I were in Sam’s place I would have doubled or tripled down on Codex CLI. Just my 2 cents.

I thought fruits are nutritious because they are there to support the seed during its journey.
