OpenAI is reportedly in talks to buy Windsurf for $3B

From TechCrunch:

"Windsurf, the maker of a popular AI coding assistant, is in talks to be acquired by OpenAI for about $3 billion, Bloomberg reported."

This is pretty crazy especially since the OpenAI Startup Fund is one of @Cursor 's biggest investors (source).

Restart to update again?

Dear @Windsurf, I appreciate the frequent updates. Love seeing a fast moving product. But, the restart-to-update is pretty brutal. There are like 3 updates per week.

I have long running processes in the editor terminal like my development server and rails console. When I restart the editor, I have to manually restart these processes. Some ideas:

  1. Maybe it's possible to have some updates without restarts?

  2. Can you indicate when my local major or minor version is behind the latest? I am no longer willing to restart the editor for most patch updates.

Windsurf has launched their new brand and improved their Free tier substantially

Here is what the Free tier is going to have now:

  • More premium credits: We are bringing all premium models to the Free plan with the full agentic experience. Instead of just 5 premium prompt credits a month, a user will get 25. With GPT-4.1 and o4-mini still on a discounted 0.25 credit rate, this corresponds to 100 such prompts every month.

  • Unlimited full agent: We are also going to give unlimited Cascade Base model usage in Write mode to our Free users. Previously, unlimited Cascade Base was available, but not with the full agentic experience.

  • Unlimited Fast Tab: Free users will now have unlimited fast Tab completions, the highest performing Tab experience that was previously available only to paying users. This is the full Tab experience - autocomplete, supercomplete, tab-to-jump, tab-to-import, and more.

  • Previews and Deploys: Unlimited Previews and one Deploy a day.
