As usual, HN misses the point. The customer list was probably worth about $2.99 billion, and the engineering work about $10 million.

Is OpenAI having trouble acquiring enterprise customers?

What makes you think $3B worth of customers were committed to Windsurf at all, much less in a sticky/exclusive way?

How many customers do they have? At $30 per month it would take forever to pay off even with a lot of growth.

Open AI could release an equivalent VS Code clone and make it entirely free and it would still be a lot cheaper than $3 billion.
