Cursor (AI coding assistant & Origin code hosting)

Active

The AI-powered code editor and coding-agent platform built by Anysphere, acquired by SpaceX for $60B in an all-stock deal that closed August 14, 2026 and folded into the SpaceXAI division. Serves 50,000+ businesses (including 64% of the Fortune 500) at roughly $3B in annualized revenue, now running on SpaceX's GPU fleet including Colossus, and feeding coding data into Grok's training pipeline.

Current status

Continues to operate under the Cursor brand (a gradual rebrand is expected) with access to SpaceX's Colossus GPU fleet for training. On August 18, 2026 - four days after the acquisition closed - Cursor shipped Origin, a new code-hosting platform positioned as a direct GitHub competitor, integrating with Vercel, Buildkite and Depot; the launch landed the same day GitHub suffered a major outage.

Upcoming milestones3

Announced next steps from xAI that mention Cursor (AI coding assistant & Origin code hosting).

  1. H2 2026

    Scale Grok Bot beyond public beta

    xAI opened a public beta of Grok Bot on August 11, 2026, then expanded plan coverage on August 21 and August 26. On September 3, 2026 it made Grok Bot available for enterprises, adding access, network, and audit controls, with two weeks of free usage for Grok and Cursor Enterprise customers (including inviting people without an existing seat). xAI said thousands of organizations have adopted Grok Bot since launch. Android support remains 'coming soon' with no firm date, and as of September 9, 2026 xAI has still given no confirmed date for Grok Bot exiting beta on every consumer surface.

  2. H2 2026

    Ship Grok 5

    Release the ~6-trillion-parameter Grok 5, still training on Colossus 2 after missing Musk's original Q1 2026 window and a subsequent Q2 window; Musk has claimed a '10% and rising' chance it constitutes AGI. As of September 22, 2026 there is still no confirmed release date and no model card. xAI instead shipped Grok 4.5 (July), Grok 4.6 (August 12), and Grok 4.7 (now available in Cursor, Grok Build and the Grok API). Independent trackers still treat a 2026 Grok 5 ship as possible but unconfirmed.

  3. H2 2026

    Integrate Cursor into the SpaceXAI stack

    Following the August 14, 2026 close of the $60B Anysphere acquisition, deepen the joint SpaceXAI-Cursor roadmap: Cursor (50,000+ businesses, including 64% of Fortune 500 companies, and roughly $3B in annualized revenue) now runs on SpaceX's GPU fleet including Colossus. The integration produced Origin, a GitHub-rival code-hosting platform, on August 18; Grok 4.6 shipped in Cursor and GitHub Copilot the same week; and on September 3 Grok Bot became available to Cursor Enterprise customers with organization-wide invites. Remaining work in H2 2026 is the gradual Cursor rebrand and deeper Grok Build / Grok Bot / API sharing.

In the news2

  1. xAI ships Grok 4.7 for coding and knowledge work

    SpaceXAI said Grok 4.7 is now available in Cursor, Grok Build, and the Grok API at the same $2 and $6 per million input and output tokens as Grok 4.6, with a faster variant at twice the output speed and twice the price. The company said the model uses a larger base than Grok 4.6, ran longer reinforcement learning on multi-hour tasks, and ships a new safeguard stack that scored 62.4% on LatchBio's biosafety benchmark and let 3.3% of risky HackerBench prompts through. The release lands after Grok 4.7 slipped past its mid-September target.

  2. xAI launches Grok 4.6, matching GPT-5.6 Sol on benchmarks

    xAI released Grok 4.6 on August 12, a 1.5-trillion-parameter model built on the same foundation as Grok 4.5 but tuned through improved supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning for long-running agent tasks, coding and knowledge work, with a 500,000-token context window. The model scored 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, matching OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol and just behind Anthropic's Claude Fable 5, and shipped the same day in the Cursor code editor and xAI's own Grok Build tool alongside API access priced at $2/$6 per million input/output tokens.
