AIMPACT News, May 16 (UTC+8), xAI has begun early testing with paid subscription users for its first AI programming agent Grok Build, entering the software development tools sector, with the goal of surpassing Claude under Anthropic in the short term. xAI has reached an agreement with AI programming tool company Cursor, which is valued at $10 billion. According to the agreement, SpaceX has the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion to continue the partnership. xAI can quickly enter the programming tools market through Cursor’s 360k paid users and their products, while Cursor will gain access to xAI Colossus’s large-scale computing infrastructure. This deal is synchronized with SpaceX’s anticipated reorganization of its IPO later this year, with the SpaceX IPO expected to become one of the largest in history.
XAI-2.61%
GROK1.49%
SPACEX-1.27%

xAI Colossus traded compute power for the Cursor channel—everyone gets what they need; you know, it’s pretty much how it should be.

If SpaceX exercises the option to acquire for 60 billion, is this valuation serious?

With a $10B valuation, buy Cursor—and get Grok Build for free in a “freebie” steal to directly poach 360,000 paying users. Really winning big.
