The failed Windsurf bid and this makes me think OpenAI feels they need to focus more on the coding agent use case.

Still thinking about the endgame. Its not obvious to me if OpenAI/Anthropic will become competitors to coding startups like Cursor or continue to be model providers.

In my view Anthropic is already a competitor to Cursor, while also being a model provider to them.

OpenAI has been trying to get into the space with their multiple product offerings all called “codex” but execution has been lacking.

So this is very much a play at becoming more competitive in the space.
