The deal gives Cursor access to SpaceX's large GPU fleet, aiming to build more capable and cheaper-to-run models. The post cites the recent Grok 4.6 release as an early example of what the combined compute resources can enable, framing the acquisition as expanding Cursor's ambitions while keeping its mission of helping developers write less code unchanged. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Did SpaceX acquire Cursor? Yes, SpaceX has officially acquired Cursor, completing an acquisition process that began in April alongside a previously announced partnership with SpaceXAI focused on accelerating model training. Cursor states the deal gives it access to the largest fleet of GPUs in the world, enabling stronger and more economical models for its AI coding product. _Developers relying on Cursor can follow how this ownership change shapes future model pricing and capability on daily.dev._ ### What is Grok 4.6 and how does it relate to Cursor? Grok 4.6 is a model released by xAI that Cursor points to as an early example of what its partnership with SpaceX and access to expanded GPU compute can produce. Cursor frames it as a preview of the more capable, lower-cost models it expects to build going forward under SpaceX ownership. _Anyone comparing coding models can track how Grok releases feed into Cursor's roadmap on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [SpaceX Just Bought Cursor for $60 Billion.
