Cursor

Cursor officially acquired by SpaceX to leverage AI and advanced computing resources

Cursor has officially been acquired by SpaceX. This announcement marks the completion of the acquisition process, initiated in April 2026 when Cursor partnered with SpaceXAI to enhance model training. Pairing SpaceX's powerful GPU infrastructure with Cursor's AI models enables the creation of more efficient and cost-effective AI solutions. The acquisition highlights the growing importance of AI-driven tools in innovative industries like space technology, as well as the ability to develop solutions like Grok 4.6 to help businesses. This move allows Cursor to scale its ambitions while reducing costs and improving coding productivity tools.

SpaceX Strikes Deal With Cursor for $60 Billion

SpaceX has struck a deal giving it the option to acquire AI coding startup Cursor for $60 billion, or pay $10 billion for a collaborative partnership. Cursor, which hit $100 million in ARR in under two years and was last valued at $29 billion, will gain access to xAI's supercomputing infrastructure to scale its AI models.

Cursor nears $2B raise at $50B valuation as ARR targets $6B by end of 2026

Cursor is closing a heavily oversubscribed funding round led by Thrive and Andreessen Horowitz at a $50B pre-money valuation. The AI coding startup hit $2B ARR in February 2025 and forecasts exceeding $6B ARR by end of 2026. The company has reached positive gross margins on its sales to large enterprises, but continues to lose money on individual developer accounts. By relying less on outside providers, Cursor is trying to avoid being replaced by its own suppliers, most notably Anthropic, whose Claude Code has emerged as the startup’s main rival.

Launched Automations for agentic coding

Cursor launched Automations, a new system that auto-triggers coding agents within the editor via Slack messages, code changes, or timers. Faces growing competition from autonomous agents like Anthropic Claude Code and OpenAI Codex.

Cursor is doing a round at $30B valuation
