SpaceX has completed its $60 billion acquisition of AI coding startup Cursor, granting the company access to the world's largest GPU fleet for lower-cost model development. The deal, which began with an April partnership and follows SpaceX's merger with xAI, has already produced Grok 4.5 and 4.6 focused on coding and real-world tasks.
The $60 billion transaction, which the firms first revealed in June, reportedly supplies Cursor with access to "the largest fleet of GPUs in the world."
It was designed to "excel at coding, agentic tasks and knowledge work" and to deliver results "at far lower costs."
