SpaceX Completes $60 Billion Cursor Acquisition, Grok 4.6 Already Out
The completed acquisition gives Cursor access to SpaceX's large GPU cluster, and the immediate release of Grok 4.5 and 4.6 shows the partnership is already yielding concrete AI models.
Reporting from 1 source: GameBusiness.jp.
SpaceX has officially completed its acquisition of AI coding tool developer Cursor for $60 billion. The deal follows an April partnership to accelerate AI model training. Cursor now gains access to SpaceX's GPU cluster. The collaboration has already produced Grok 4.5 and Grok 4.6, with the latter an improved version for coding, web app development, and CAD.
The $60 billion deal, reported under negotiation in June, closes a process that began with an April partnership announcement. Cursor said it will now use SpaceX's GPU cluster to build and train better models and offer them at lower cost.
Two models have already shipped from the collaboration. Grok 4.5 targets coding, agentic tasks, and knowledge work with an eye to low-cost provision. Grok 4.6 builds on it with improved support for general coding, web app development, and computer-aided design.
Cursor framed the shift as evolution from code completion a few lines ahead to AI teammates that handle actual work, and said its founding policy is unchanged: helping people spend less time writing code and more time on harder problems.
