SpaceX announced a $10 billion collaboration deal with AI coding tool Cursor and an option to acquire it for $60 billion, halting a $2B fundraising round that Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive, and Nvidia had been set to join.

Anysphere, maker of the Cursor AI coding tool, is negotiating a $2 billion round co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and Thrive Capital with Nvidia participating, nearly doubling its November 2025 valuation.

Cursor's April 2 release shifts the product toward multi-agent orchestration, with cloud-local handoff, review artifacts, and a plugin marketplace.

JetBrains launches Central, a governance and execution platform for AI coding agents, alongside IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1 with Agent Client Protocol support and the Air agentic IDE in public preview, signaling a decisive pivot toward agent-driven development.

Anysphere's Cursor ships event-driven AI coding agents that trigger on commits, Slack messages, and incidents, aiming to close the gap between AI-accelerated code production and human-speed review.
