OpenAI’s discussions to buy Windsurf, the maker of a popular artificial intelligence coding assistant formerly known as Codeium, have ended. Instead, Google will hire Windsurf’s CEO, Varun Mohan, and some of the startup’s staff, both Google and Windsurf said.

The monthslong talks between OpenAI to buy the startup for $3 billion ended in recent days. Among the reasons: Windsurf’s team raised concerns over how the coding assistant would fit into the OpenAI and Microsoft agreement, which requires OpenAI to share its technology with Microsoft, according to two people familiar with the company’s discussions.
