Hey now, don't forget about it's super important other use, taking innocent photos of people and regenerating them in less clothing and compromising positions.
I'm sad that I even know that.
I’m curious where you pull these stats from
xAI is not, and was not that bad, it's just everybody ignores it for anything serious due to obvious reasons.
e.g. Need developer data? Use some of that spare GPU compute, hand out free top end model coding access for a bit and you'll very rapidly have developer data
>decent enterprise relationships
I guess. 60B worth of "relationships" though?
They tried this - grok was free on openrouter for a while
However, one thing in AI is that while the usage goes up extremely quickly, it tends to go down just as fast. I know a lot of companies that are in the process of switching from Cursor to Claude Code, so in 6-12 months I'm not entirely sure of the data quality/quantity.
Also I think it is telling that they are calling them SpaceX not X. The X brand is absolutely toxic, especially in enterprise.
it might not help all that much once it turns into "grok" harness or otherwise associated with elon
$60 billion seems expensive, but it gives them a much better chance at competing in the market than if they started their own harness from scratch.
Anthropic just tolerates the money losing developers who pay $20/$200 for subscriptions.
e.g. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/12/twitter-stiffs-s...
I wouldn't trust a contract from one of Elon's companies unless they were willing to put in escrow an amount that would make me whole in case of a breach on their side. (And that amount would be quite large in the case of a potential breach involving using prompt data for training.)
Their composer model is seriously good. I’ve been eyeing a cursor sub just to use it in OpenCode. They have a nice moat here.
> Cursor have decent enterprise relationships (while for xAI it is ~zero)
That has a reason. Those enterprise relationships are almost certainly going to sour at least a bit, if not for Musk‘s toxic image then for his erratic behavior.
It is true that they were not transparent about the base model that they used until the model slug was discovered by a Twitter user via the API.

care to share more about this?
I see two possibilities:
(1) SpaceX is paying with stock; and
(2) the $60bn pay-out is (a) conditional or (b) never going to be exercised—it was a stalking horse for negotiating the $10bn terms, which gives SpaceX everything it actually wants.
Also one would definitely offer to pay in stock if they believe it is massively over-valued lmao.
Sometimes it helps to go back to the basics to understand company performance: money in, money out?
Is it in vogue with enterprise devs?
“Cursor have” and “Cursor are” is awkward to read.
