xAI has expanded its Grok Bot AI agent app from iPhone and Mac to iPad and Android, while slashing the price from $300/month to compatibility with the $20/month Cursor Pro plan. Enterprise customers using Grok or Cursor get free access for a limited time.

OpenAI announced it is ending its partnership with Cursor after the coding-assistant company's acquisition by SpaceX, cutting off direct model access on November 12. Cursor says OpenAI models account for only 5% of its traffic and is seeking to reverse the decision.

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.

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.

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%.
