SpaceX confirmed it will acquire Anysphere, the maker of popular AI coding tool Cursor, for $60 billion in an all-stock deal, just days after SpaceX's blockbuster IPO. The acquisition builds on SpaceX's earlier merger with xAI and is aimed at strengthening its AI engineering capabilities. The deal, which follows an option SpaceX secured in April, is expected to close in Q3 2026 pending regulatory approval.

Unlike traditional version control systems, Origin structures code review, conflict resolution, and merge state to be machine-readable and machine-actionable from the ground up, positioning itself as a direct agent-first alternative to GitHub. Origin is expected to launch in fall 2026, with a waitlist open now.
