SpaceXAI Plans to Launch New Model with Cursor as Soon as Wednesday
Elon Musk said last month that SpaceX and Tesla staff were testing the jointly developed model.
SpaceXAI and Cursor plan to launch their first jointly developed AI model as soon as Wednesday, according to a memo sent to staff.
The companies pushed back plans to launch the new model earlier this week in order to improve its efficiency, according to the memo. The model is expected to process information quickly, making it competitive in some respects with Anthropic’s Opus 4.8 and OpenAI’s GPT 5.5, the memo said.
SpaceX is acquiring Cursor for $60 billion in stock. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said last month that SpaceX and Tesla staff were testing the jointly developed model. Cursor CEO Michael Truell said during an event for the coding app’s customers that Cursor was working on an AI model that had been trained from scratch on xAI’s Colossus data center and would compete directly with Anthropic and OpenAI models.
Cursor declined to comment. SpaceXAI did not respond to a request for comment.
