Elon Musk's SpaceXAI is set to unveil a new AI model developed in collaboration with the AI coding tool Cursor. The initiative marks Musk's entry into the competitive landscape dominated by OpenAI and Anthropic.
According to a report by Reuters on July 7, the two companies are preparing to launch the jointly developed AI model. The report cites an internal memo obtained by the IT news outlet The Information.
The memo indicates that the model boasts rapid information processing capabilities, positioning it to compete with major AI models such as Anthropic's Claude 4.8 and OpenAI's GPT-5.5.
The launch, initially anticipated for early this week, has been delayed to enhance the model's efficiency. Michael Truel, CEO of Cursor, previously stated at a customer event, "We are developing a new model that is being trained at the SpaceXAI data center."
This collaboration follows SpaceX's decision to acquire Cursor's parent company, Anisphere, in a stock exchange deal valued at $60 billion.
SpaceXAI appears to be a new brand used after Musk's AI company xAI was integrated into SpaceX. However, the legal name change has not yet been confirmed. While a trademark application has been filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the corporate registration and website still list the name xAI Corp.
The upcoming model launch reflects Musk's strategy to reshape the AI business around SpaceX, particularly aiming to expand influence in the enterprise AI and coding tools market through Cursor.
