Windsurf just got split between Google and Cognition. Yes Split acquisition at place. One startup. Two giants. A billion-dollar tug of war. Cognition just picked up what’s left of Windsurf: the team, the product, and all the tech. ICYMI: Google already snapped up Windsurf’s CEO and lead researchers in a massive $2.4B deal. Now Cognition’s swooped in to grab the rest. •They’re plugging Windsurf’s AI coding tool into their own AI engineer, Devin •Windsurf wasn’t small - 350+ enterprise clients, tons of users •Revenue hit $82M annually before things split •OpenAI once offered $3B but that deal fell through •Around 250 Windsurf folks now join Cognition to keep building It’s a rare kind of split-acquisition: Google took the brains yes, but surely Cognition got the engine and the builders.
