OPENAI would have been in talks to buy Anysphere, the company that produces the AI coding assistant to the cursor, before participating in talks with the company Rivale Windsurf.
According to CNBC, Openai approached Anysphere in 2024 and again in 2025, but the talks blocked twice. Achieving an agreement has led Openai to seek potential acquisitions elsewhere.
Familiar sources with the agreement also claim that OpenAI is ready to pay $ 3 billion to buy Windsurf, which would make it the largest business acquisition of the company to date.
The attempt to acquire an OPENAI of an assistant Coding company of the AI follows the publication of Deepseek R1 in January 2025, which broke the long -standing hypotheses on artificial intelligence.
Deepseek would have been trained in a fraction of the cost of the management of AI models while offering comparable performance – calling into question the belief that the scale requires massive calculation power, a financial rattling and raising questions on the billions spent by AI giants.

OpenAi inches towards profitability, but cheaper competitors are always a challenge
OPENAI plans to triple its income in 2025 at around 12.7 billion dollars by selling paid subscriptions for its main models of AI to individuals and businesses.
The company exceeded 1 million subscribers to premium companies in September 2024. However, the CEO of Openai, Sam Altman, said that the AI giant may not be profitable before 2029.
According to Altman, Openai needs revenue of around $ 125 billion to make a profit on its high capital intensity activities.
In February 2025, Altman said that IA development costs dropped considerably. “The cost of using a given level of the fall of approximately 10 times every 12 months,” the CEO wrote in a blog article on February 9.
Despite this, high costs and centralization problems continue to attract large -scale business AI developers, who must compete with more agile open source counterparts.
Dr. Ala Shaabana – Co -founder of the OpenTensor Foundation – recently told Cintelegraph that the release of Deepseek solidified Open -Source AI as a serious competitor against centralized AI systems.
Shaabana added that the lower cost of open source systems proves that AI does not need billions of dollars to scale or make high performance references.
