Let this be a learning lesson in judging these deals based on partial information. Kudos to the Google, Windsurf, and Cognition teams for keeping all of these deals under wraps until announcement (OpenAI could learn something...), but even so it's likely that we the public will never learn every detail of what transpired. I've seen a lot of harsh, misguided takes over the past few days, like that the Windsurf founders screwed over their employees, or that OpenAI reneged on the deal. In this case, this seems like a happy ending for all parties involved: congrats to the Windsurf team!

You're talking like the founders orchestrated this deal to cognition all along.

that's absolutely not the case. they ejected and the remaining executive team dealt with the sale over the weekend.

I can't imagine this deal was done over just the weekend. It takes time to set this up, check the financials etc.

The cognition deal was made literally over a weekend
