SpaceX, Elon Musk’s aerospace venture, announced a partnership with AI startup Cursor, including an option to acquire the company later this year for about
$60 B.
In a post on X, SpaceX said the firms will work closely “to build the world’s best AI.” The deal gives SpaceX the choice to either buy Cursor outright for
$60B or pay
$10B for the joint work completed.
The collaboration will integrate Cursor’s coding model, Composer, with SpaceX’s Colossus training supercomputer, aiming to accelerate AI development in the sector. Cursor CEO Michael Truell said the partnership is a “significant step” in scaling AI-powered programming.
Cursor has faced rising competition in recent months as rivals from OpenAI and Anthropic gain traction among tech companies, according to The New York Times.
