9to5Mac reported that SpaceXAI completed its purchase of AI coding company Cursor on Aug. 14. The article says the companies had previously agreed to work together on coding and knowledge-work AI, and that Cursor would use xAI's Colossus infrastructure to scale model training. It describes Cursor as a competitor to Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex. The report characterizes the acquisition as following an earlier SpaceX-Cursor arrangement, but does not provide the terms of the completed transaction.
