Silicon Valley is in the adoption spray – although not in the native sense. Instead of buying obvious purchases, large AI companies are about the “Abai-Hire” companies, put the high talents from the beginning which promises. The latest example comes from Google, which brings several managers from AI Software Firm Winsurf to New Multibillion-Dollar Deal.
Among those who joined Google’s DEPMind section is DOIN Windsurf Varun Mohan and the Founder Douglas Chen. The couple, and other members of their group, will focus on creating Agentic Information Tools. “We are proud of which Windsurf that constructed four years ago and is happy to see it on their World Class group and started the next phase,” Mohan and Chen in the following statement.

After the leadership of leadership, Jeff Wang, the head of the current WINDSurf business, will develop as a temporary CEO is effective.
At first, the Openai would be to find Windsurf. The Chatgpt Maker was hoping to buy a start of $ 3 billion. However, those programs reportedly crossed the partnership with the closing of Opelai with Microsoft. He is concerned about giving Microsoft access to the WINDSURf asset access, Opelai eventually walked away from the acquisition.
Google does not hire WINDSurf employees; A licensing agreement is also attacking an unusual use of operational technology. Agreement, which is more important for $ 2.4 billion, does not include Google to take the equality stake at Windsurf, according to the Wall Street Journal.
“We are happy to accept a higher Ai Talent in Windsurf’s Team on Google Deepmind to promote our work in Agentic Code,” said Google in a statement, adding that it is currently focusing on the development of the Gemini engineer.
Ai Aquises-Hires surgery
This is not the first time Google downloaded aqui-hire to bring the AI high talent to the board. Last year, the company paid $ 2.7 billion with the same agreement with Mormance.ia, Chatbot technology license and hiring their founders, Noam Shalale, Daniel de Fritas.
These types of deals have increased as large technical firms want to expand their groups in AI while completing a controlled understanding of traditional or meeting. Nevertheless, a newly occurring wave, including $ 650 million licenses for $ 650 million and the same cooperation between Amazon and Adept-have the attention of the antiron authorities.
In one of the hirings of the largest Aquish Shereses, the Meta last month is employed by the Founder of Alexandr Wang, along with members of his team, to join the newly established ai. The departure followed the META investment of $ 14 billion on a scale AI, where it received a pole that did not vote for the original.
