SpaceX has officially completed the acquisition of Cursor. The deal, valued at $60 billion, was announced in April as a partnership focused on model training. Cursor will now have access to SpaceX’s GPU capacity, promising more powerful and cost-effective models.
The acquisition is officially complete. Cursor, Anysphere’s coding environment, is now part of SpaceX. This concludes the process that began in April, when both parties announced a partnership with SpaceXAI to accelerate model training.
At the time, that partnership was more than just a technical agreement. According to reports in April, SpaceX had the option to acquire Cursor for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for the partnership alone. The former option has now been chosen.
Cursor’s main argument is compute power. The company says it will gain access to “the largest fleet of GPUs in the world,” which, according to Cursor, should lead to more powerful models that are also cheaper to run. Customers should benefit from this immediately.
Grok 4.6 as the first result
The first tangible result is Grok 4.6, which was released on Wednesday. Cursor is presenting the model as a preview of what the combined organization can build. On Cursor’s own benchmark, Grok 4.6 High scores 69.9 percent on CursorBench v3.2, while the Extra High variant scores 70.8 percent. On the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, the model achieves a score of 61, equal to GPT-5.6 Sol Max.
Cursor was founded in San Francisco in 2022. Competitors in this segment include Anthropic with Claude Code, OpenAI with Codex, and GitHub Copilot.
Cursor says its goal remains the same: to help users spend less time writing code and more time solving more complex problems.
