When I heard that Openai is talking about the AI CODING Company Windsurf for $ 3 billion, one of the first questions of the person who follows this space is:
After all, the Openai Startup Fund was an investor of Cursor’s manufacturer, AlySphere because of the fast -growing coding assistant seed round in late 2023. The conversation failed. Instead, ALYSPHERE is talking about capital with about $ 10 billion last month, Bloomberg reported last month.
Openai indicates how important it is to capture a piece of one piece of the Code Generation Market to the Chatgpt producer. Windsurf produces an annual revenue of about $ 40 million in February, Techcrunch reported in February. Meanwhile, the cursor of the ADSPHERE is said to earn about $ 200 million depending on ARR.
Openai’s CODEX CLI “Agent”, which allows the company announced on Wednesday that the code can write and edit the code, suggests that the CLI does not want the CLI to wait until the CLI gets traction with the customer.
