And more AI goodness…
All the best,
The TLDR
OpenAI has acquired Windsurf (formerly Codeium) for around $3B—its largest deal yet. The move gives ChatGPT access to billions of coding interactions, enhancing its real-time programming support and offering smarter assistance in developers’ existing tools.
OpenAI has announced the acquisition of Windsurf. What exactly is it all about? According to consistent media reports, OpenAI is acquiring the AI-supported programming assistance specialist once known as Codeium for around 3 billion US dollars - the company's largest acquisition to date.
Why is this so exciting for the AI community? Windsurf not only brings a highly trained code co-pilot to the table, but also billions of lines of anonymized developer interactions. This gives ChatGPT a direct line to IDEs worldwide, allowing it to learn error patterns firsthand and improve its code output in real time. Those who already work with GitHub Copilot, Cursor & Co will soon have a significantly smarter sparring partner – without having to change tools.
Why it matters: OpenAI's windsurf purchase raises the bar for productive coding and opens a huge training window for the next generation of models. Those who understand how human-machine teams work now will shape the future of software development.

Avatar IV is the most advanced avatar model yet—turning just one photo and a script into lifelike, emotionally expressive video. Its new audio-to-expression engine mimics your tone, rhythm, and emotion with uncanny accuracy, whether the subject is human, alien, or even a pet. This isn’t animation—it’s pure digital expression, brought to life in seconds.
Meta Perception Encoder Redefines Vision AIMeta introduces the Perception Encoder, a powerful vision model that outperforms existing benchmarks in zero-shot image and video tasks. It’s open for exploration with a research paper, code, and dataset now available. | Fellou: The First Agentic Browser Is HereFellou is the world’s first AI-powered browser that navigates the web for you, not just with you. It marks a major shift in human-computer interaction—automating online tasks with eerie precision. |
Insilico Medicine officially named its fully AI-designed IPF drug Rentosertib in March 2025. Target identification and molecule design took only 18 months thanks to Generative AI; Phase IIa data show improved lung function in a dose-dependent manner. With the pivotal studies now planned, a fully automatically developed therapy is within reach of patients for the first time - a milestone that catapults AI from theory into clinical reality.
On March 6, 2025, the Washington Post reported that Life Biosciences plans to apply for FDA approval this year for the first human trial of partial cell reprogramming. The method, which gave mice a 30% longer life, aims to reset epigenetic clockworks in humans. If it can be used safely, ageing will become a treatable indication - but tumor risks and accessibility issues require strict regulation and broad social discussion.
The PEARL trial, published on April 14, 2025, is the first randomized one-year study of rapamycin in 114 healthy participants. Low doses were shown to be safe; women in the 10 mg arm gained significant muscle mass and reported less pain. Epigenetic aging markers remained unchanged, but the data provide real-world evidence for mTOR modulation and show how crowdfunding can accelerate longevity research.
