Google will license specific Windsurf technology, but will not be acquiring a stake in the company, according to TechCrunch. This follows the collapse of OpenAI's previously reported acquisition of Windsurf, a viral AI coding startup. The Verge initially reported the deal's termination. Google DeepMind's involvement, though not detailed in this initial report, suggests a continued interest in AI coding tools and their potential integration into Google's existing infrastructure.
