Windsurf

“Our, actually, our chief people officer, Julia, Was telling me the other day, she vibe coded an internal tool that she had at a previous job that she really wanted to have here at open AI. And she opened, I don't know, windsurf or something and vibe coded it.”

“We saved over half a million dollars of SaaS products we were going to buy because our go-to-market team has now built apps instead of buying them.”

“And what we realized is immediately by porting over to windsurf, our acceptance rate tripled same ML models. It just tripled.”

“We were the first identic IDE product out there, right? That's what we landed with.”

“We launched the product like a bit over four months ago. And in that period of time, over a million developers have tried the product. And obviously we have many hundreds of thousands of monthly active users right now.”

“We have custom models that we built that are post trained on top of popular open source models that can make these edits really, really quickly to the code base. And the reason why you would want to do that is it's a faster and be also that model can actually …”

“It's that actually every hour we get probably tens of millions of pieces of feedback from our users. We get a lot of feedback on what they like and what they don't like.”

“Our goal is to reduce the time it takes to build apps and technology by 99%”

“So VS Code, which is a very popular IDE, had a ceiling for the AI capabilities we could showcase our users. And because of that, we decided to go out and fork VS Code and build our own IDE with some of these new agentic capabilities”

“Companies like Dell have singular code bases that are over a hundred million lines of code, right?”

“This year, the total amount of engineering output we will have is much larger than the engineering output we've had since the beginning of the company's creation till now.”

“Probably, like, publicly, I'd say, let's just say JPMorgan Chase. They have over 50,000 developers.”

“So I think, look, we're definitely seeing over 30, maybe close to 40% productivity improvements.”

“I don't know if I would say that you shouldn't go get a computer science degree. I think computer science is almost synonymous with problem solving. In that case, I think it's Pretty valuable.”

“So I think what engineering kind of goes to is actually what you wanted engineers to do in the first place, which is what are the most important business problems that we do need to solve? What are the most important capabilities that we need our application o…”

“We only hire for a role if we're actually underwater for that function.”

“AI was probably going to write well over 90% of the software, in which case the role of a developer and what they're doing in the ID is maybe reviewing code.”

“One of the goals that I tell everyone at our company is we should be cannibalizing the existing state of our product every six to 12 months. Every six to 12 months, it should make our existing product look silly. It should almost make the form factor of existi…”

“Interestingly, the one that does retrieval is actually completely pre-trained in house. That actually does that. But yeah, for a lot of different pieces, it's based on open source for interestingly, for the one that does that does the edits and autocomplete th…”

“The IDE and building locally has been a thing that people have done for, you know, decades, so probably it's not going to go away in the next, like, couple years.”

“We know from the research we've invested in that compounds Like PowerBook or Facebook are multipliers of associations because there's wind and there's circles around that, you know, and then there's surf images around that. So one plus one equals three, right?”
