It seems that investors keep throwing money at them regardless of profitability
OpenAI about to buy Windsurf for $3B
Windsurf, the maker of a popular AI coding assistant, is in talks to be acquired by OpenAI for about $3 billion, Bloomberg reported. If the deal happens,
OpenAI seems to have realized that LLM-supported coding is one of the biggest markets right now.
Purchasing one of the most popular IDEs together with Cursor tells a lot about the companies strategy.
While I personally do not use Windsurf anymore because of their stupid pricing with tool-tokens and text-tokens, let‘s see if OpenAI will be able to integrate it to their product suite in a different way with the existing $20 subscription.
Are you still using Windsurf? If not, what would be necessary to win you back as a user?
GPT4.1 is nowhere near DeepSeek v3's performance
GPT 4.1. is nowhere near DeepSeek V3's 0324 performance despite inference costs that are higher than Gemini 2.5 Pro.
OpenAI is having a difficult time and is certainly the LLM with the worst cost/performance ratio. GPT5 seems to be further away than ever. What is OpenAI doing wrong?
Surprising to see GPT 4.1. Sama told us that GPT5 was „just around the corner“ - why waste efforts then for some soon-outdated model
I‘m curious if he told Elmo the same. The guy nazi who streams gaming content from his private jet 30% of his day, posts shit on shitter 60% of the day and fucks up democracy 20% of the day.
This is what these productivity gurus are referring to when they‘re talking about giving 110% every day
Kind of ironic to read this. First, the UK decided to part ways to pursue their economic goals on their own.
Now that the US are doing the same, they realize how benefitial the EU was for their economy (even without Trump, they realized this).
GB perfectly demonstrated why the US way of thinking is bs. They regret it every single day and the US are too dumb to learn from others mistakes
Ich lasse mich gerne vom Gegenteil überzeugen. Ein Aktienmarkt am Boden ist nie gut.
Nichtsdestotrotz gibt es für mich aktuell keine Anzeichen für einen Kurswechsel Trumps… Der Mann kann sich keine Niederlagen eingestehen
3 / 48 Monaten unter Trump sind jetzt vorbei. 45 kommen noch.
Ich werde nicht versuchen, das fallende Messer zu greifen.
Republicans have fought for a long time to keep the average person dumb.
This is what happens with an undemocratic, white privilege education system.
Google really cooked this time. I tried every other Google model and was not even close to switching from Sonnet
I think it really makes sense to use Gemini. It is COMPLETELY free. No variable costs for now. I experienced comparable performance to Claude 3.5/3.7.
I agree that Claude Code is amazing. But before Gemini 2.5 Pro (after Claude Code), I would use Cursor for lightweight tasks to save costs and Claude Code when it was really necessary.
20$ is what you can easily end up spending in a single day of Claude Code. But Gemini 2.5 Pro combines the advantages of both imo
Is Cursor done?
With Cline + Gemini 2.5 Pro, one can get the exact same feature set that Cursor and Windsurf provide. They only call the APIs of the big LLM Providers without an advanced secret sauce.
It‘s even the opposite - they worsen model performance by limiting context size. The key advantage, the fixed monthly costs instead of variable API usage, is now gone with Gemini 2.5 Pro…
What is left that justifies their ridiculous valuation atm?
From Trump‘s (questionable) world view, Finland is not an enemy. They heavily invested in their own military and didn‘t have a negative export balance with the US.
These are the two things he criticizes the most about the biggest countries in the EU.
