Hahah wtf? They are training on colossus 2? Their own model?

Dude what the hell happened to Musks Grok? How incapable are they that they give away training compute to Cursor like this?

Weird that the genius Musk doesn't need his own compute, after all shouldn't Macrohard (no joke) already building the worlds software from scratch?

[mgambati]

Words on the street is that xAI will buy cursor.

[Glohrischi]

Yeah for 10-60 BILLION. which again makes this even stupider.

For this amount of money you can rebuild cursor and everything else on the market, and with the rest of 9-59 Billion, you just hire experts in coding and let them code real high quality code examples.

And then you just use your existing grok pipeline and just add this functionality.

This xAI stuff has to be run by idiots

[radu_floricica]

Buy "Cursor", not "Cursor's IP". This means brand, users, and a shitton of data.

And if you combine a shitton of data with a lot of compute, large userbase and good engineers, you have a pretty good chance of doing something interesting.

[Glohrischi]

Yeah you know how much 10-60 Billion are?

You could literaly just give your compute away for free for a year to pull people in.

Make an API Endpoint for free with the caviat that they are allowed to use the data for traing, what everyone else does too.

[mgambati]

And you still don’t get the quality of data that cursor have which is the best due to being collected pre vibe coding.

[Glohrischi]

With giving out tokens for free you would

[timmmmmmay]

it seems like they were trying that last year, it didn't work, so he flipped out and fired everyone and now plan B is to buy Cursor and run a quick rename of "Composer 3" to "Grok 5"
