The co -founder of the Anthropor on cutting access to Windsurf: “It will be strange for us to sell Claude to Openai”

Jared Kaplan, the co -founder of science, said his company cut off Windorf’s direct access to Claude Anthropor models to a large extent due to rumors and reports that Openai, the largest competitor, gets an artificial intelligence coding assistant.

“We are really trying to enable our customers who will work with us in the future,” Kaplan said during an interview on stage on Thursday with Techcrunch in the future. TC sessions: AI 2025.

“I think it would be strange for us to sell Claude to Openai,” Kaplan said.

The comment comes just a few weeks after Bloomberg mentioned this Openai was gaining Windsurf for $ 3 billion. Earlier this week, Windsurf said that Anthropor has cut off its direct access to Claude 3.5 Sonata and Claude 3.7 SonataTwo of the most popular artificial intelligence models for coding, forcing the start of the start to find a third -party computing in a relatively short notice. Windsorf said he was disappointed in the Antarubor decision and that it could cause instability in the short term for users trying to reach Claude across a homeland.

Windsurf refused to comment on Kaplan’s comments, and an Openai spokesman did not immediately respond to the Techcrunch request. Companies did not confirm acquisition rumors.

Part of the reason for the arrival of Windhorf homeland to Claude, according to Kaplan, is that the company is restricted today. Antarubor would like to keep her account for what Kaplan described as “permanent partnerships”.

However, Kaplan said that the company hopes to increase the availability of models that can be provided to users and developers in the coming months. He added that the Antarbur has just started opening the capacity on a new computing group of its partner, Amazon, who says it is “really big and continues to expand.”

With the withdrawal from Anthropor from Windsurf, Kaplan said he is cooperating with other customers who build artificial intelligence coding tools, such as Cursor – Kaplan said that Antarbur is expecting to work with it for a long time. Kaplan rejected the idea that the Antarbur was in competition with companies like Cursor, which is developing her artificial intelligence models.

Meanwhile, Kaplan says that Antarbur is increasingly focused on developing her coding products, such as Claude Code, instead of AI Chatbot experiences. While companies such as Openai, Google and Meta are competing for the most popular AI Chatbot platform, Kaplan said that the Chatbot model was limited by its fixed nature, and that artificial intelligence agents will be in long -term more useful for users.
