The model was delayed briefly to improve efficiency and is positioned to compete with Anthropic's Opus 4.8 and OpenAI's GPT-5.5. Cursor CEO Michael Truell confirmed the model was trained from scratch on xAI's Colossus supercomputer. The launch coincides with SpaceX's $60bn acquisition of Cursor and the rebranding of xAI to SpaceXAI. No official name has been announced, though Musk has referenced an unreleased Grok in beta. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is SpaceXAI and how is it related to xAI and Cursor? SpaceXAI is the new name for xAI after Elon Musk folded it into SpaceX, a move he flagged in May and completed roughly five months after the two companies merged. SpaceXAI is working with Cursor, the AI coding tool company that SpaceX is acquiring in a $60bn all-stock deal, to jointly build a new AI model trained on xAI's Colossus supercomputer. _Track how the SpaceX-Cursor tie-up reshapes AI coding tool choices on daily.dev._ ### What AI models is the new SpaceXAI and Cursor model competing against? The unnamed joint model from SpaceXAI and Cursor is being positioned to compete against Anthropic's Opus 4.8 and OpenAI's GPT-5.5, according to an internal memo. The launch was reportedly delayed slightly this week so the companies could improve the model's processing efficiency before shipping. _Follow the fast-moving frontier model race on daily.dev before picking your next coding assistant._ ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@petecapecod** · 0 upvotes > I guess we'll see if it's any good when it comes out. **@byteoutlaw** · 0 upvotes > Could be super good. Cursor definitely needed some AI advantage. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [SpaceXAI launches Grok 4.5, its first model with Cursor](https://daily.dev/posts/spacexai-launches-grok-4-5-its-first-model-with-cursor-ekeyyomvo) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#anthropic](https://daily.dev/tags/anthropic), [#grok](https://daily.dev/tags/grok) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/spacexai-and-cursor-s-first-joint-ai-model-could-ship-today-xsx6jz7yn) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"SpaceXAI and Cursor's first joint AI model could ship today","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/spacexai-and-cursor-s-first-joint-ai-model-could-ship-today-xsx6jz7yn","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/spacexai-and-cursor-s-first-joint-ai-model-could-ship-today-xsx6jz7yn"},"datePublished":"2026-07-08T11:56:53.018Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T08:16:59.482Z","description":"SpaceXAI (formerly xAI, now merged into SpaceX) and Cursor plan to launch their first jointly developed AI model as soon as Wednesday, according to an internal...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/42312e7e66dad24e3fd7c21a19420001?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/42312e7e66dad24e3fd7c21a19420001?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Next Web","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Next Web","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tnw","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},"commentCount":2,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/spacexai-and-cursor-s-first-joint-ai-model-could-ship-today-xsx6jz7yn","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":2},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":2}],"keywords":"anthropic,grok","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Web","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"SpaceXAI and Cursor's first joint AI model could ship today"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/spacexai-and-cursor-s-first-joint-ai-model-could-ship-today-xsx6jz7yn","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","text":"I guess we’ll see if it’s any good when it comes out.","datePublished":"2026-07-08T12:53:14.625Z","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/xSx6Jz7yN#c-s1Dc2YkQv","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Peter Cruckshank","url":"https://daily.dev/petecapecod","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--ZJhQyKws--/f_auto/v1721235024/avatars/avatar_A9xh33q0QoxtkGoJRCosp"}},{"@type":"Comment","text":"Could be super good.
