Google just boosted its AI game. The company hired Windsurf CEO Varun Mohan, co-founder Douglas Chen, and key members of their R&D crew. They’re all joining Google’s DeepMind unit.
The move signals Google’s push to grab the AI lead. Windsurf is known for its coding tools, and Google wants that expertise.
A Google spokesperson confirmed the hires on Friday. No word yet on exact roles or future projects.
