Google DeepMind has successfully hired Windsurf’s CEO Varun Mohan and other key executives after OpenAI’s acquisition attempts collapsed. The company is poised to pay 2.4 billion USD for a license to Windsurf’s technology without gaining ownership, emphasizing a trend of talent acquisition.
Windsurf will operate independently despite the personnel changes, continuing to license its AI coding tools. The startup’s co-founders are optimistic about joining Google and evolving its offerings, while Google aims to enhance its AI capabilities with the new talent.
