OpenAI’s Windsurf deal is off, and Windsurf’s CEO is going to Google

I did not see this coming. Wow. The game of thrones in SV.

I wonder what happened with the OpenAI deal. Anyone have any guesses? My first guess is "Look at Claude Code, we can do this ourselves." But, I am likely thinking too simply.

edit: does this mean that Windsurf and its users will stop being iced-out by Anthropic? Or, is this the end of Windsurf?
