Ronak Malde的两年经历浓缩了AI编程领域从初创到巨头的完整路径，做AI编程工具或智能体开发的团队能从中看到产品迭代和团队决策的实战智慧，值得点开细读。
Ronak Malde在两年内从Codeium初创公司到Windsurf，再到DeepMind，经历了$2.4B收购，最终主动放弃股权离开。他在Codeium参与了Windsurf IDE和SWE-1（前沿智能体编程模型）的开发，在DeepMind贡献了Antigravity和Gemini 3。他分享了三点关键经验：选择正确的方向、快速团队的秘密（基于6个月预测做具体赌注并砍掉其他）、硅谷圈子很小。他认为AI将彻底改变每个行业，并暗示即将开启新篇章。

从Codeium到Windsurf到DeepMind，再到主动放弃收购股权离开——Ronak Malde两年经历了别人十年的密度 x.com/rronak_/status… Ronak Malde @rronak_ I’ve left Google DeepMind. The last two years have been an incredible whirlwind. A couple years ago, I joined a small startup called Codeium. There, I got to ship Windsurf, train SWE-1 (a frontier agentic coding model), go to DeepMind in the $2.4B acquisition. Now, I decided to leave the acquisition money and DeepMind. I’m grateful to the mentors, teammates, and friends I worked with along the way. At Windsurf, thanks to @_mohansolo and Douglas Chen, I got to see what a fast moving startup that ships relentlessly and builds for the future looks like. I learned from @thenickmoy how excellent research leadership can drive outsized innovation. At DeepMind, I got to push the frontier of agentic coding, be part of the amazing team that shipped Antigravity and contributed to Gemini 3. DeepMind is a rare place: deeply curious people, exceptional research taste, and access to enormous compute and Google-scale infrastructure. A few things that I learned: 1. Finding the right hill to climb. Now more than ever, there are a multitude of directions to push the frontier in AI research. It’s easy to optimize for the wrong benchmark or capability. You should step back regularly to question if you are climbing the right hill, and adjust course often. 2. The secret to being a fast-moving team. Moving quickly is not just about working hard and long hours. It requires making concrete bets about where the world will be in 6 months, aligning around them, and cutting everything else. This was our journey from the Codeium Extension → Windsurf IDE → SWE-1 → Antigravity → Antigravity CLI 3. Silicon Valley is small. Since the split of Windsurf to DeepMind and Cognition, many of my colleagues have gone to other exciting places - Thinking Machines, OpenAI, xAI, Cursor, fast-moving startups, or started their own companies. I’m grateful to have worked with so many talented, hungry people whose stories are not yet finished. So what’s next? We are living in one of the most exciting and powerful times in human history. Just like we transformed software engineering, soon every industry, every unit of work will be radically transformed, democratized, accelerated. With this comes new challenges, and new doors of frontier research to be opened. More soon. 🔗 View Quoted Tweet 💬 1 🔄 0 ❤️ 1 👀 381 📊 1 ⚡
