🚨 BREAKING: OpenAI just bought Windsurf for $3 billion.
They’re not just acquiring a product they’re cornering a market.
This is the start of an AI coding war.
Cursor, Replit, v0… all just became targets.
Here’s what’s really going on:
• Windsurf pivoted from GPU infra to becoming the most underrated code-gen engine.
• OpenAI passed on Cursor even with its $9B buzz to pick precision over hype.
• Their o3/o4-mini models now top coding leaderboards across speed, accuracy, and cost.
• This isn’t a feature grab it's OpenAI absorbing the entire dev workflow.
The IDE is dead.
Long live the prompt.
