Remaining Windsurf team and tech acquired by Cognition, makers of Devin: ‘We’re friends with Anthropic again’
Cognition CEO Scott Wu and interim Windsurf CEO Jeff Wang said they would start by integrating the AI-powered engineer Devin into Windsurf
The acquisition gives Cognition access to Windsurf’s core product, brand, and remaining team — but not its original CEO or co-founders, several of whom have now joined Google in a separate $2.4 billion talent and licensing deal, as The Verge first reported last week. In a video announcing the deal, Scott, CEO of Cognition, described how the two platforms will integrate: “Imagine planning tasks in Windsurf, launching a team of Devins, and reviewing PRs from the comfort of your IDE.” For developers, the path forward now includes both continuity and change: a product that stays alive within Cognition, a founding team now at DeepMind, and a landscape that is quickly consolidating around model access and engineering talent.
