AIStability AI and Electronic Arts have formed a strategic partnership to co-develop generative AI models, tools, and workflows for EA's artists, designers, and developers. Among the first initiatives is accelerating the creation of Physically Based Rendering (PBR) materials, such as 2D textures that preserve color and light accuracy across environments. The partners also plan to build AI systems that pre-visualize entire 3D environments from a series of prompts.
AICognition, maker of the AI software engineer Devin, raised over $400M at a $10.2B post-money valuation led by Founders Fund. The company says its acquisition of Windsurf more than doubled its ARR, with combined enterprise ARR up over 30% in the seven weeks after the deal. It also reports Devin ARR grew from $1M in September 2024 to $73M in June 2025, with total net burn under $20M.
AICognition has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Windsurf, including its IP, product, trademark, brand, and team. The deal includes Windsurf's IDE, now with full access to the latest Claude models, and $82M of ARR with enterprise ARR doubling quarter-over-quarter. Cognition says it will invest heavily in integrating Windsurf's capabilities into its products while Windsurf continues operating as before.
Why it matters: The post shows how an acquisition of an AI coding IDE was structured around staff treatment and product integration, with specific ARR and customer figures.
