Google has hired Windsurf CEO Varun Mohan, co-founder Douglas Chen, and several researchers to enhance its DeepMind division, focusing on agentic coding initiatives, specifically the Gemini project. This decision comes amidst a competitive landscape where tech giants are scrambling for top AI talent. Google will not acquire Windsurf but will gain a non-exclusive license for its technologies. The move also marks the end of OpenAI's plans to acquire Windsurf, which had previously agreed to a $3 billion deal.
