Anthropic Cuts Windsurf’s Claude Access Before OpenAI Acquisition
- In early June 2025, Anthropic unexpectedly revoked almost all of Windsurf's direct access to Claude 3.x AI models, providing fewer than five days' advance warning.
- This event followed reports that OpenAI is negotiating to acquire Windsurf in a deal valued near $3 billion, which Anthropic sees as competitive.
- Windsurf CEO Varun Mohan expressed frustration publicly after Anthropic abruptly cut off nearly all of Windsurf’s access to Claude 3.x models, even though Windsurf had made it clear they were prepared to cover the entire capacity.
- Mohan wrote on X that Anthropic's conduct could "harm many in the industry," reflecting tensions between major AI model providers and app developers.
- This incident highlights risks for AI startups relying on third-party models, suggesting future challenges in the ecosystem as companies vie for dominance.
