Cognition (Devin AI) to Acquire Windsurf

Must have been acquired for an extreme discount far from the $3B offer from OpenAI and Windsurf's (alleged) valuation of $1.3BN.

Cognition being worth $4B with Devin being raced to zero by Claude Code also undercutting both Windsurf and Cursor have a very steep hill to climb.

Having both Devin and Windsurf will just make them raise more money as they burn through their operational costs.

Google already paid $2.4B out of the $3B OpenAI deal, to what I imagine is Cognition now. Cognition must have spent low 100s of Millions max.

> Google already paid $2.4B

This is unclear. $2.4B was for licensing and compensation. Why would Google have agreed to pay any significant amount to the Windsurf leftovers?
