I’m really confused now. Also, is there really that much of a transformative difference between Windsurf and say OpenAI/Claude etc to warrant this crazy valuations?

I'm also confused why Devin is worth billions
For real. According to the marketing material. Couldn’t Devon just whip up a windsurf competitor in minutes?
Devin's whole business model is predicated upon replacing programmers with minimum wage AI agents.
That'll be cool only if Devin actually worked.
Who decides for much a company is worth?
the founder went to harvard, is basically the answer
> crazy valuations
I haven't seen anything to indicate what was paid for what's left of Windsurf.
I was also referring to the $2.5B Google paid. I can’t imagine what could possibly be the value they’re hoping to get
I'd love to learn more about that arrangement. Maybe Google's terms indicated that the "licensing fees" portion of "$2.4 billion in licensing fees and for compensation" are void if Windsurf gets acquired.
They got the top talent from there with the technology and they can continue on that or be used for other AI projects, right?
