Cursor

xAI (SpaceXAI) and Cursor have launched Grok Bot in beta, an AI agent app for Mac and iPhone that signs into existing tools to complete work autonomously. Access is currently limited to top-tier SuperGrok and Cursor subscribers, with wider availability rolling out within 10 days of launch.

Cursor has launched Origin, a code hosting platform that handles repositories, pull requests, and collaborative editing — directly competing with GitHub. The launch coincided with a six-hour global GitHub outage with a reported 20% error rate.

xAI released Grok 4.6, claiming intelligence on par with OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol and just one point behind Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 Max on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. The model is priced at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, with a faster variant at double that rate.

Amazon, Cursor, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Vercel have released Agent Plugins, an open standard defining a single package format for AI agent extensions. Version 1.0.0 covers Agent Skills and MCP servers, but leaves marketplaces, permissions, and runtime out of scope.

Cursor has launched Cursor Start, a new ₹649 per month subscription plan tailored for developers in India, complete with local UPI billing. The plan includes access to Grok 4.5, Cursor's Composer model, always-on cloud agents, and Cursor for iOS.

Cursor's upgraded agent swarm splits AI coding work between expensive frontier planner models and cheap worker models, reaching 100 percent accuracy on a from-scratch SQLite-to-Rust benchmark. Cursor claims the split cuts codebase size by up to 85 percent and worker costs by a factor of 15 compared to running a single frontier model alone.

SpaceXAI has released Grok 4.5, the first model developed after its rebrand from xAI and trained in partnership with Cursor. The model is priced at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, and was trained across tens of thousands of NVIDIA GB300 GPUs focused on coding, science, engineering, and math datasets.

Elon Musk's SpaceXAI has released Grok 4.5, priced at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens. The model, trained alongside recently-acquired Cursor, is positioned as a coding and enterprise tool that claims to outperform Claude Opus 4.8 on several benchmarks while undercutting it on price by 60-76%.
