Now they also get to see what is sent to Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, etc., and what is returned. At scale, for a prime area of concern.

Reread the comment I replied to. It has nothing to do with Anthropic or Google or DeepSeek.

Your comment only questioned why OpenAI cares about Windsurf from a first party perspective. I expanded the rationale for why the acquisition makes sense at a different level.
