OpenAI‘s early investment in Cursor was a masterstroke. Acquiring Windsurf would be another.
Next advances in coding AI depend on real-world coding data, esp how professional developers use agentic AI for coding + other tasks.
RL works well on sufficiently large base models as shown by rapid progress on verifiable problems with good training data, e.g. competition math, competitive coding problems, scientific question answering.
Training LLMs on detailed interaction data from AI-powered IDEs could become a powerful flywheel leading to the automation of practical coding.
