SpaceX has announced a deal with Cursor to develop a next-generation "coding and knowledge work AI" and has an option to buy the software development platform for $60 billion. The partnership aligns with SpaceX's Colossus supercomputer, which the company claims has the equivalent compute power of a million Nvidia H100 chips. The deal is seen as a way to increase value from SpaceX's rapidly expanding tech conglomerate. It is unclear whether SpaceX will pay Cursor $10 billion for its work or acquire the company for $100 billion.
