Windsurf CEO reveals that Anthropic is restricting access to Claude AI models
AI coding startup Windsurf has said that Anthropic has removed almost all access to their Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude 3.5 Sonnet AI models. CEO Varun Mohan said that Anthropic's decision to block first-party access was done with 'less than five days of notice,' in a post on X.
'Given the short notice, we may see some short-term Claude 3.x model availability issues as we have very quickly ramped up capacity on other inference providers, but we believe we have now secured sufficient near term capacity,' he went on.
Last month, post the launch of Anthropic's latest Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4 models, Mr. Mohan wrote in another post on X that the AI firm hadn't given direct access to them.
He added that Windsurf has been 'very clear to Anthropic that this is not our desire,' and that they want to pay them for the 'full capacity,' but the short notice and the eventual decision by Anthropic was 'disappointing.'
However, he said that they had worked to make Windsurf work much better with Gemini 2.5 Pro as an alternative. 'Gemini 2.5 Pro (now very high quality on Windsurf, new 0.75x promo rate), GPT 4.1, and more are all unaffected,' he stated in the same post.
It was reported in April that Anthropic rival, OpenAI was in talks with Windsurf to acquire them as the AI vibe coding segment heat up.

SHO Cyber Crime Police Station Brijesh Yadav confirmed that an FIR was registered under section 318 (4), 319(2), and 66D of the IT Act while investigations are underway, including collecting details of the bank accounts involved. According to the FIR filed at the Cyber Crime Police Station, the accused woman claimed she was planning to open a school and an old-age home in Kolkata and initially sought financial and tax consultancy from Pandey. "Over time, the conversation shifted to cryptocurrency investments, and Bhavika portrayed herself as an expert in the field, promising high returns," said the complainant in the FIR. "Influenced by her claims, the CA first invested Rs 50,000 via a WhatsApp-based portal named X-MEX. Soon, the online portfolio linked to the portal began showing profits and bonuses, building trust in the scheme. Encouraged by the gains, he transferred a total of Rs 1.92 crore over multiple transactions to 11 different bank accounts," said the SHO. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Trouble began when Pandey tried to withdraw the alleged profits.
