SpaceX has entered into a partnership with AI coding startup Cursor to develop a next-generation artificial intelligence system for software development and knowledge work.
The deal includes an option for SpaceX to acquire Cursor for up to $60 billion later this year, according to a company statement.
Under the agreement, Cursor will contribute its developer-focused platform, while SpaceX will provide computing infrastructure through its Colossus supercomputer, which the company claims delivers massive processing power.
SpaceX said it may either pay Cursor $10 billion for its work or proceed with a full acquisition, depending on how the collaboration evolves.
The move comes amid growing competition in AI-driven coding tools, with major players such as OpenAI and Anthropic also expanding into the developer ecosystem.
Industry observers say the partnership reflects broader efforts by tech firms to integrate AI capabilities across their operations, particularly ahead of potential public offerings and large-scale investments.
Cursor, which has seen its valuation rise sharply in recent months, currently provides developers with access to AI models for coding assistance, including tools from competing AI companies.
