SpaceX Buys Cursor for $60B
22nd June 2026 | Superintelligence Newsletter
Hey Superintelligence Fam 👋
Everyone kept asking when AI agents would become real businesses. This week gave a loud answer: when SpaceX is ready to spend $60B on Cursor, the coding assistant is no longer “just a tool.”
The rest of the week had the same energy. Agents got smarter, models got faster, data centers got priority power, and AI safety debates moved from theory to boardroom-level urgency.
Let’s dive into what’s new this week..

SpaceX’s $60B Cursor Bet : SpaceX is buying Cursor in a $60B all-stock deal, adding a $1B+ ARR AI coding startup to Musk’s wider frontier AI stack.
Sakana AI Launches Fugu : Sakana’s Fugu coordinates specialist models through one OpenAI-compatible API, with Fugu Ultra hitting 73.7 on SWE-Bench Pro and 93.2 on LiveCodeBench.
AI Data Centers Get Grid Fast Lane : FERC ordered six major grid operators to fast-track data center connections, as AI power demand strains grids and wholesale rates jump up to 267%.
John Jumper Leaves DeepMind for Anthropic : Nobel winner John Jumper, central to AlphaFold’s 2024 chemistry prize, leaves DeepMind after nearly nine years, giving Anthropic serious AI-biology firepower.
GLM-5.2 : GLM-5.2 brings 1M-token context, 131K output, 744B MoE scale, and stronger repo-scale coding for long-horizon agent workflows.
Codex Record & Replay : Codex Record & Replay turns one Mac workflow demo into a reusable skill for repeat tasks like reports, uploads, issues, and browser actions.
DiffusionGemma 26B A4B IT : Google’s DiffusionGemma runs 25.2B parameters, 3.8B active, 256K context, 35+ languages, and generates over 1,100 tokens/second on H100.
North Mini Code : Cohere’s open-source coding model packs 30B parameters, 3B active, 256K context, Apache 2.0 licensing, and 2.8x Devstral throughput.
How AI Agents Reshape Knowledge Work : Perplexity’s Computer agent does 26 minutes autonomous work versus Search’s 33 seconds, cutting task time 87% and cost 94% on matched workflows.
Agentopia : Agentopia simulates 100 LLM agents over 10 years, using life-reward training to improve CoSER performance 15.6% and model social realism.
The Geometry of On-Policy Distillation : OPD updates fewer weights than SFT, locks early into low-dimensional subspaces, and emerges as a distinct post-training path beyond SFT and RLVR.
