Anthropic Cuts Off Windsurf, Deel Rewrites the Narrative and Flock Safety's Surveillance Tech | E2134

The rumor, the reporting, is that OpenAI is going to buy Windsurf around $3 billion. A pretty big check. We're kind of waiting for that news to drop, to be honest. I'm kind of confused why that deal hasn't wrapped up. But in the meantime, Windsurf, which has previously used, at least in part, AI models from the anthropic Claude family, uh got cut off with less than one week notice.

Well, maybe if the deal doesn't go through, Anthropic will be like, ah, never mind. Come back to Claude. I I think if you kick someone out of your house, the relationship's over. Yeah, you know, it's it's tough to go back on that. Yeah, would you come back with like your basket of clothes, like, oh, I'm just gonna move back in.

No, you're, you know, once once you sever certain relationships, I don't think they really come back. Uh I feel like a heartfelt apology, an edible arrangement, it goes a long way.
