>AI Wrapper is worth 60 billion


why aren't you trying to make AI software to fleece investors
>>

It's imaginary money.

I think most people would prefer the economy not be based on debt, fractional reserve banking and fiat currency if they understood what it means.

Composer is a cheap (and decent) Kimi distill, so calling Cursor merely an AI Wrapper is a bit disingenuous. But yes, 60 billion is absolutely crazy. Also >>109068765

At long as one snailcat exists, not all developers are using Cursor.
>>
>>109068743
Wrapper is actually a harness, well polished one.
What is valuable is the prompts people type in and results they get. This is data. Basically distilled pure data from the models.
CCP would kill for access to that data.
Cursor already trained their own models on that data. And unlike chinks, they don't have to pay for it. Users already paid, so cursor gets straight wins no matter the angle you look at it.

vscode is an ai code editor now too, so both are the same but with different names, no?
>>
>>109071286
That is the second sentence meant, yes.

That just makes it all the more perplexing why it's worth that much. They were the first company to get it right, but now, anyone can just use Claude Code with any model and it'll perform fine, so I don't get what makes them so valuable.

It just goes to OpenAI dumbass. SpaceX doesn't have a good model or enough data center space to run it.

why are you talking about cursor 1 when we are at cursor 3? neither vscode nor claude code have swarms of agents.

yeah I don't get it too because as you said, every editor does this now

it? it's an all-stock deal. so 'it' would be stocks here?
no, openai doesn't get any spacex stocks from this deal.

If you had looked at SBF’s investments you’ll know cursor was already preordained to be a “success story”. Aside from crypto shit and Robinhood, his investments were mainly SpaceX, and Anthropic, and Cursor.

I just started using cursor two weeks ago after being fatigued by all the AI coding software slop and not touching it all for a month or two, leaving a $100 claue kot subscription almost unused for a month, because I was so tired of all the bullshit.
Cursor was surprisingly good in comparison, judging from the little bit I've done with it, mostly setting the model to "auto", which probably means it would be using their own "composer" model (based on Kimi iirc) most of the time. Mostly really working well without making much noise and adding confusion. Downside is the piece of shit does not answer questions, it just writes code without much feedback, but I guess that's just the system prompts, maybe those can be changed, idk, I was too lazy to care. It just was surprisingly good at doing things as told and solving some tricky things on the way quite intelligently without question, in comparison to previous slop I had used.
The UI is shit, though. VSCode clone, stripped of lots of bloat but also some useful parts.
Sad, I was thinking cursor is pretty good, although my use of it was pretty shallow so far.
This sell-off will probably lead to its demise.

they made their own (apparently pretty good) coding model because they can't be a viable business serving other providers' tokens when said tokens aren't subsidized.
>>
>>109068765
Cope. That money is very real now.

---
(Bloomberg) -- Around the time ChatGPT and Github’s Copilot brought AI to the masses, four MIT classmates with backgrounds in computer science and finance decided they wanted in. They just didn’t quite know how.

“It started from a very ‘solution-in-search-of-a-problem’ place,” Michael Truell, co-founder and chief executive officer of Cursor, the company they started together, said in a June 2025 podcast appearance.

Four years later, Cursor is one of the most popular AI-powered coding tools on the market — and their “solution” has made them all multibillionaires.
>>
>>109073697
Generating revenue too.

---
After a few months, they pivoted to developing an AI coding agent more in line with the founding team’s background. In 2023, the OpenAI Startup Fund backed the fledgling firm in a seed round that raised $8 million, according to Pitchbook data.

The following year, Anysphere raised $60 million in a Series A round valuing the company at $400 million. Major investors included Andreessen Horowitz, Dorm Room Fund and Stripe co-founder Patrick Collison.

By January 2025, Cursor had hit $100 million in annual recurring revenue. Within two months, that figure had doubled, and it hit a million daily users.

If you want Cursor to answer a question instead of doing a thing, you need to switch the agent from 'Agent' to 'Ask' mode, as per this pic.
>>
>>109068743
They're buying the user base and their data. Grok will probably become THE name in agentic AI software development. Claude is done, they're burning cash too fast, and burning goodwill faster. Openai is actually good but no one really uses Codex. This is Elon positioning Grok to be the winner.

So, /g/, how do you justify the value of this deal? Where does the value comes from? It cannot be the code, so it has to be something else. Is it the brand? Is it the team? I'm genuinely confused.
>>
>>109077384
The entire AI investment space right now is working on one thesis and one thesis only: multiple players are fighting, exactly one of them will win and will absorb everything else.
That's it, that's the thesis. The valuation is fake, it's just that if you pour 10x more money into A than B, you expect A to win, which means you get your payout kinda thing. Of course the problem is that the valuations are so insane right now that even if that were to happen (it won't) nobody would get their money back even if people spent 120% of their paychecks on each product (so total north of 5x their entire paycheck).

It’s not a wrapper lol

Cursor is a frontier lab but without the captial and compute so they were forced to lock in on IDE product and collecting the most scarce data which is RL traces for coding. They have so much data now they trained a model from scratch with grok and the RL loop already moggs frontier


Just look at Chinese models likes GLM which released yesterday - cursor will knock it out the park

Cursor in code / agent / harness is one of the companies that have been doing this since the inception of coding models

They lacked capital and compute to actually train a model from scratch but now they have more compute and capital and all frontier labs.

Newfags have no clue 1.5T opus class model in 2 weeks and mythos lite level in 2 months

>>
>>109078334
Spacex's entire validation is based on an ai thesis. Nvidia gave up everything in the name of ai, they can't claim gaymer revenue or scientific revenue anymore because they made their shit inaccessible to anyone but ai bullshitters. Microsoft, though, would be doing alright. But all tech companies will suffer for a while because that's how markets work.

Really goes to show how little /g/eets understand how these products work. A lot goes into proper LLM interfaces in order to make the experience not complete trash. That's why they perform far better than web chat uis
>>

SpaceX presence in AI is pretty much totally fraudulent other than being the government's hedge against 'data centers are flammable'. They'll always have their space launch monopoly to fall back on, but their stock could go to 1% of its current price and be fair value.
