Good morning, The AI Night readers. Nvidia just wrote a $20 billion check to acquire Groq and with it, the inference speed crown. Meanwhile, Windsurf dropped parallel agents and near-frontier coding for free and OpenAI made a rare admission: prompt injection in AI browsers may never be fully solved. The infrastructure wars are heating up as we close out the year.
In today’s The AI Night:
Nvidia Grabs Groq's Secret Sauce for $20B
Windsurf unleashes parallel agents and free near-frontier coding with SWE-1.5
OpenAI concedes: prompt injection in AI browsers may never be fixed

Nvidia Grabs Groq's Secret Sauce for $20B
Source: From Web
Groq announced that it has entered into a non-exclusive licensing agreement with Nvidia for Groq’s inference technology. The agreement reflects a shared focus on expanding access to high-performance, low cost inference.
The details:
Groq founder Jonathan Ross and President Sunny Madra will join Nvidia to scale the licensed technology.
Simon Edwards steps in as Groq's new CEO, the company continues operating independently.
GroqCloud will continue without interruption for existing users.
Why it matters:
Nvidia just eliminated its most credible inference competitor while acquiring technology that could dramatically accelerate its own inference stack. For developers relying on GroqCloud's speed, the "business as usual" messaging is reassuring but the long term strategic picture favors Nvidia's already dominant position in AI compute.

Windsurf Wave 13 brings parallel agents and near-frontier coding performance for free
Source: From Windsurf
Windsurf's Shipmas Wave 13 release introduces parallel AI agents, native Git worktree support, and SWE-1.5 a new model delivering near frontier coding performance at no cost to users.
The details:
Parallel agents can now work on multiple tasks simultaneously within the same codebase.
Git work tree integration enables isolated workspaces for each agent branch.
SWE-1.5 claims performance approaching frontier models on coding benchmarks.
All features available in the free tier.
Why it matters:
The parallel agent architecture addresses a real bottleneck in AI-assisted development waiting for sequential task completion. If SWE-1.5's benchmark claims hold in production, Windsurf just made a serious play for developers priced out of premium coding assistants. Worth testing against your current stack.
AI that works like a teammate, not a chatbot
Most “AI tools” talk... a lot. Lindy actually does the work.
It builds AI agents that handle sales, marketing, support, and more.
Describe what you need, and Lindy builds it:
“Qualify sales leads”
“Summarize customer calls”
“Draft weekly reports”
The result: agents that do the busywork while your team focuses on growth.

OpenAI admits AI browsers may always be vulnerable to prompt injection
Source: From Web
OpenAI published a security disclosure acknowledging that prompt injection attacks on its ChatGPT Atlas AI browser are unlikely to ever be fully solved while detailing new defensive measures.
The details:
OpenAI now uses an RL trained "LLM attacker bot" to discover novel injection patterns internally.
One demonstrated exploit: a malicious email hijacked the agent to draft a resignation letter to the user's CEO.
New safeguards include adversarially trained models, Watch Mode and confirmation prompts for sensitive actions.
The company concedes that agent mode expands the security threat surface.
Why it matters:
This is a rare candid admission from a major lab about fundamental limitations in agentic AI security. For anyone building or deploying agents with access to email, files, or enterprise systems, the message is clear: defense in depth isn't optional, and human in the loop confirmations remain essential. The AI red team bot approach signals where defensive research is heading.
That's a satisfactory wrap for tonight.
