According to The Information, internal memos show that SpaceXAI and Cursor plan to release their jointly developed first AI model as early as today (July 8). It is reported that to further enhance operational efficiency, the two companies postponed the release of the model earlier this week. The report indicates that the new model has the capability to process information quickly and aims to compete with advanced large models such as Anthropic's Opus 4.8 and OpenAI's GPT 5.5.Data shows that Elon Musk's SpaceX acquired xAI (now renamed SpaceXAI) in February of this year, and subsequently acquired the well-known AI programming assistant Cursor's parent startup Anysphere in June for $60 billion in an all-stock transaction to strengthen its position in the high-profit enterprise-level AI code generation sector. Additionally, SpaceX has performed strongly since its initial public offering on June 12, benefiting from Nasdaq's revised rules for newly listed companies, and was officially included in the Nasdaq-100 index this Tuesday.

Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik posted on platform X that, in hindsight, if Binance founder CZ had completed the acquisition of FTX back then, the potential asset structure could have changed significantly, possibly indirectly holding about 8% exposure in Anthropic, about 5% exposure in the AI programming tool Cursor, and some investment rights related to SpaceX.It is reported that CZ disclosed the intention to acquire in November 2022, but announced the abandonment due to issues discovered during due diligence that were beyond control, after which FTX filed for bankruptcy protection.

According to Jinshi Data, informed sources revealed that SpaceX is expected to advance the acquisition of the artificial intelligence coding startup Cursor 30 days after its company begins the IPO.

According to The Information, sources say that despite Cursor previously accepting SpaceX's conditional acquisition offer of $60 billion (which has not yet been finalized), the company currently has no plans to jointly develop coding models with its artificial intelligence agency xAI.Instead, Cursor is focusing on optimizing its self-developed model Composer. This model is partially supported by the Chinese AI model Kimi. Previously, the market anticipated that if the deal was completed, Cursor might engage in deep collaboration with xAI to develop programming models, but the latest developments indicate that the company will continue to adhere to an independent technology path in the short term.

Microsoft had evaluated the possibility of acquiring the AI programming tool company Cursor, but ultimately did not proceed with the deal. Subsequently, SpaceX quickly reached an agreement to obtain an option to acquire Cursor at a valuation of $60 billion, with a $10 billion penalty for cancellation if the acquisition is not completed.Cursor is currently an important player in the AI programming sector, benefiting from the strong demand for automated programming tools from developers. Competition in this field has become increasingly fierce, with OpenAI and Anthropic being major players. On the other hand, Microsoft is facing multiple pressures, with its stock price down 10% this year, underperforming its peers in the hyperscale data center sector.

SpaceX announced today that it has reached a cooperation intention with AI programming startup Cursor, which grants SpaceX the right to acquire it later this year for $60 billion, or to pay $10 billion to advance the cooperation between the two parties.It is reported that Cursor's developer Anysphere completed a $400,000 Pre-Seed round of financing in April 2022, jointly invested by Alameda Research and Heroic Ventures. Among them, Alameda invested $200,000 in Anysphere, acquiring about 5% of the shares.This equity was sold at the original price during the bankruptcy liquidation of FTX. Based on a $60 billion valuation, if the equity had not been sold, it would currently be worth about $3 billion.

SpaceX posted on the X platform that it has reached a cooperation intention with AI programming startup Cursor, which grants SpaceX the right to acquire it later this year for $60 billion, or to pay $10 billion to advance cooperation between the two parties. Cursor is a rapidly growing artificial intelligence startup focused on developing code writing software.

According to two informed sources, SpaceX has agreed to acquire Cursor for over $50 billion. Cursor is a rapidly growing artificial intelligence startup focused on developing code-writing software. As SpaceX makes this deal, it is preparing for what could be one of the largest IPOs in history.Founded in 2022, Cursor has raised over $3 billion in funding and has generated buzz as one of the fastest-growing AI startups. SpaceX previously stated that Cursor has granted SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor for $60 billion, or SpaceX may also choose to pay $10 billion for the collaborative results of both parties.

AI programming tool company Cursor is nearing completion of a new round of financing, aiming to raise at least $2 billion, with a pre-money valuation of $50 billion. This round of financing is expected to be led by Thrive Capital and Andreessen Horowitz, with strategic investors like Nvidia participating, and Battery Ventures potentially joining as a new investor.If successful, the company's valuation will significantly increase from approximately $29.3 billion six months ago. In terms of revenue, Cursor's annualized revenue was about $2 billion in February this year, and it is expected to exceed $6 billion by the end of 2026. At the same time, the company has achieved positive gross margins in some business areas through self-developed models and optimized cost structures.

The artificial intelligence startup Cursor (which helps engineers write code) has raised $2.3 billion in a new funding round, bringing the company's valuation to $29.3 billion.Cursor can analyze programmers' actions and suggest the next few lines of code. It also offers a chatbot that users can ask code-related questions. This valuation is astonishing for a startup that was valued at less than $10 billion just a few months ago, highlighting investors' ongoing and strong interest in all things AI. Advances in generative AI have driven the valuations of a whole generation of coding companies utilizing this technology, such as Replit, Sweden's Lovable, and Cognition. However, they face challenges, like many AI products, related to costs. AI coding companies must pay to build or access AI models to support their applications. Some venture capitalists expect these costs to decrease, and that customers will be willing to pay a premium for AI applications that provide more value.

ChainCatcher news, according to the Financial Times, the company behind the AI code editor Cursor, Anysphere, has just completed a $900 million funding round led by Thrive Capital, reaching a valuation of $9 billion. This round attracted participation from top venture capital firms, including a16z and Accel.Upon inquiry, it was found that the cryptocurrency exchange FTX was a seed round investor in Cursor, but after FTX's bankruptcy liquidation, its liquidation team sold the Cursor shares they held for $200,000, while those shares have now skyrocketed to a value of approximately $500 million.Cursor is an AI-powered code editor that has been rapidly developing recently. Before this funding round, Anysphere had raised $105 million in a Series B round led by Thrive Capital and Andreessen Horowitz at the end of 2023, with a valuation of $2.6 billion at that time. In just a few months, its valuation has more than tripled.

After this round of financing, Cursor's parent company Anysphere is valued at $9 billion.

ChainCatcher news, according to a disclosure by crypto community member Cat (@0xCat_Crypto), a Web3 startup project lost hundreds of thousands of USDT due to hardcoded authorized wallet addresses in its smart contract code.In the incident, the contract code submitted by an employee was suspicious, but the employee denied writing the relevant code, claiming that the malicious code was automatically generated by an AI programming assistant and not adequately reviewed. Currently, the ownership of the involved wallet cannot be confirmed, and the identity of the code author is also difficult to ascertain.Slow Mist's Yu Xian stated that, after preliminary investigation, in an environment using the Cursor and Claude 3.7 models, the AI auto-completed address did not match the involved malicious address, ruling out the possibility of AI code generation being the cause of the wrongdoing. The malicious address had owner permissions of the smart contract, resulting in the complete transfer of funds from the project party.

ChainCatcher news, according to Yu Jin, Paradigm transferred 5,500 ETH (approximately $8.66 million) to the institutional brokerage platform Anchorage about 3 hours ago. Over the past year, Paradigm has transferred a total of 96,955 ETH to Anchorage, with a total value of approximately $302 million, at an average price of about $3,110.Previous similar operations were usually followed by subsequent transfers to exchanges like Coinbase and Binance, suspected to be preparations for sale.
