The Sequence Radar- Issue 915: Last Week in AI: The Cursor Acquisition, New Grok and GLM Models, Anthropic’s Latest Deal, and River AI
TheSequence Jesus Rodriguez ● Covered by 3 sources
SpaceX closed its $60 billion acquisition of Cursor and used xAI’s Grok 4.6 to connect directly into Cursor and related tooling while other labs shipped new agent-focused models and infrastructure deals. Grok 4.6 launched with a 500K context window and pricing that is $2/$6 per million tokens below 200K prompt tokens. The ecosystem shifts toward vertically integrated model-to-agent stacks, while competition also pushes toward modular approaches where companies train and own personalized intelligence via feedback loops.
Why it matters
New models, major acquisitions, and a new generation of AI companies are reshaping where the real competitive advantage lives.
