OpenAI is having a rough time lately, as they kept on losing key researcher to Meta and Google. Especially missing out on the Windsurf acquisition. Google actually is acquiring Windsurf, but the new mechanism to do this which doesn’t run into bogus “antitrust” objections is to buy the assets rather than the company. Like all these other deals. Investors and founders get paid, employees don't.

Luckily Cognition Labs came to the rescue of the Windsurf employees, acquiring the company. The Windsurf employees will have a chip on the shoulder now: https://x.com/windsurf_ai/status/1944820153331671123

Another fun fact, Windsurf new office is Silicon Valley Pied Piper office building, lol!
