Totally irrelevant, Anthropic isn’t cutting off OpenAI, it is cutting off Windsurf users.

Windsurf users can still plug their own Anthropic key and continue using the models. It’s Windsurf subscribers (eg OpenAI customers) that use the models through the Windsurf service (through their servers as proxy, that’s now OpenAI) are getting cut off

I don’t see how this is irrelevant. Windsurf is a first party product of their most direct competitor. Imagine a car company integrating the cloud tech of a different manufacturer

Exactly, it's like car manufacturers cutting off Android because Google own Waymo. The only people that pay are the consumers.
