Cursor’s blog and a TechCrunch report on August 15 said the all-stock deal is done. Cursor is now part of SpaceXAI and pointed to SpaceX’s GPU fleet and Grok 4.6.

Bloomberg and Fortune described a not-yet-signed deal for the Israeli startup’s chip-efficiency and world-model stack. Later Israeli reporting put the working number near $7 billion in Anthropic stock.

Ahmed Beshry wrote that the team is now at OpenAI working on ChatGPT. He said the deal closed earlier in 2026 and that the public note was “a few months late.” Terms were not disclosed.
