SpaceX Acquires Cursor Parent Anysphere For $60 Billion In Stock Deal
2026-06-17 17:44

SpaceX officially disclosed the acquisition of Anysphere, the parent company behind developer tool Cursor, at a valuation of $60 billion entirely in stock. This strategic move aligns with Cursor's evolution from a traditional IDE assistance tool into a comprehensive AI-native software engineering platform, as highlighted during its inaugural Compile conference.

Cursor is currently training a 1.5 trillion parameter universal base model on the Colossus cluster, which comprises over 100,000 GPUs. CEO Michael Truell emphasized that this model is pretrained from scratch, diverging from previous fine-tuning strategies, to enable independent planning and complex engineering tasks.

Concurrently, the company unveiled Origin, an AI-native code hosting platform designed to handle high-frequency agent submissions, featuring automated security reviews and intelligent Rebase support, with a launch scheduled for fall 2026.

Additionally, Cursor Mobile for iOS entered TestFlight, enabling remote Mac connections for AI programming.
