SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models. For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon. We look forward to working closely with the Cursor team to advance our frontier AI capabilities
Apr 21
SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI. The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models. Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

Great idea especially if you consider Prism ML x.com/PrismML/status/2059339… and prismml.com/ as a way to get "concentrated intelligence": very high, almost as good, performance as frontier models on phone hardware! I suspect a 50b-100b parameter model will run on an iPhone this year!

People replace their phones every ~4 yrs. This means there are hundreds of millions of old phones discarded each year that are still perfectly usable as computing devices. @Google in collabration with @UCSD is exploring how to turn these old phones into cloud-computing “phone clusters”. Putting phones back in service in this way can directly reduce the environmental footprint of computing by avoiding the need for further raw material extraction, and taking advantage of the embodied carbon already incurred from manufacturing these devices, and modern phones actually are already quite powerful computers.

Vinod Khosla’s warning for India's BPO in the age AI: The traditional IT services and BPO business “will be gone” But India can still win if it shifts to deploying AI. ---- From "SparX by Mukesh Bansal" YouTube channel, (link in comment)
Reuters: India’s biggest private employer TCS's Chairman ‌ AI agents could become as numerous as TCS employees. The Chairman said: "Some of the work being done will go to AI agents. That will be the ​nature of the transition that we have to go through ​not only ⁠as a company, as an industry, and as a country" . TCS has already announced 12K job cuts, reported $2.3B in annualised AI revenue, and has an OpenAI data-centre agreement, so this is not just talk from management. TCS has about 600K workers, so Natarajan Chandrasekaran’s claim points to a future where software tasks are handled by hundreds of thousands of digital agents rather than only human engineers. The company expects hiring to fall as AI takes over more coding, testing, support, maintenance, and back-office work, although Chandrasekaran also said new AI-related roles will appear. This hits India’s $315B IT services model hard because firms like TCS and Infosys grew by supplying large teams of lower-cost engineers to global companies. AI weakens that model because one agent can perform repeatable software work at scale, reducing the need to keep expanding human headcount for every new contract. --- IMO, India’s whole $315B tech-services industry was built on sending work to lower-cost human teams, and even recent outsourcing guides still describe offshore BPO as attractive mainly because staff costs are lower than in Europe and the US. If AI agents can do that same repeatable coding, testing, IT support, finance processing, or customer-service work, the buyer no longer needs India as the labor location, because the “worker” can run inside a US or European cloud stack, under local data rules, closer to the company’s own systems. That means the BPO threat is not only job loss at TCS; it is a possible collapse of the old outsourcing bargain, where cost savings came from moving work to cheaper people, while the new bargain may come from replacing the location advantage with software automation, especially when TCS itself says AI agents could match its human workforce --- reuters .com/world/india/indias-tcs-chairman-expects-ai-agents-equal-employee-count-2026-06-09/

China’s collapsing job market just lost its ultimate safety net as the gig economy completely implodes. In a historic first, authorities in Shenzhen, the powerhouse megacity built on migrant labor, have formally declared the ride-hailing market completely saturated. An absolute flood of laid-off workers and desperate citizens has overwhelmed the sector, turning China's most reliable economic fallback option into a brutal financial trap. The official data reveals a dystopian reality. Nearly 400,000 licensed drivers in Shenzhen are now fighting over a shrinking pool of passengers, leaving the average driver with fewer than five completed trips per day. Exhausted workers are forced to grind through punishing 12- to 16-hour shifts just to scrape together a measly 300 yuan ($42) after corporate platform cuts, vehicle rentals, and charging costs. This crisis is rapidly spreading nationwide, with major hubs like Chongqing, Suzhou, and Dongguan forced to issue identical warnings or freeze permits altogether. For years, the Chinese Communist Party used gig work as a convenient sponge to soak up mass unemployment and hide the true scale of its failing economy. Now that manufacturing is dying, foreign investment is fleeing, and white-collar sectors are plagued by sweeping layoffs, that fragile cushion has completely disintegrated. #ChinaEconomy #Shenzhen #GigEconomy #CCP #Unemployment #Didi #ChinaCrisis #StateFailure
Shenzhen officials have declared for the first time that their ride-hailing industry is officially saturated. It is not the only Chinese city facing a cabbie glut economist.com/china/2026/06/…

Wait what? Rio 3.5 Open 397B, developed by IT company of Rio de Janeiro's city government is now SOTA open source and even outperforming Qwen 3.7? What is happening today. Never heard of them before.
Alibaba Qwen3.7 slowly fading into irrelevance at the frontier due to proprietary stance. In it's place we have Minimax M3 and... *checks notes* Rio 3.5 397b, made by the municipal IT company of Rio de Janeiro's city government. huggingface.co/prefeitura-ri…
Community note
Analysis shows Rio-3.5-Open-397B is a 0.6/0.4 weight merge of Nex N2 Pro and Qwen 3.5, not an originally trained model. When the system prompt is removed, it identifies as Nex 79.2% of the time. x.com/NexEcosystem/s… github.com/nex-agi/Nex-N2…

A couple years ago it would’ve seemed crazy/creepy to record every meeting and conversation. Now it feels crazy not to. Most companies still don’t know this yet though, and the ones that do have a major advantage.

Intelligence should be open, accessible, and ready to build with, empowering every developer, everywhere. GLM-5.2 is now available to all GLM Coding Plan users, including Lite, Pro, Max, and Team plans. docs.z.ai/devpack/latest-mod… As our new flagship model, GLM-5.2 delivers powerful coding capabilities, usable 1M-context support, and continued strengths in long-horizon tasks. API and Chatbot services will launch next week. The model will also be officially open-sourced next week under the MIT License. The future of AI is open, and it belongs to the people.

Chinese AI labs right now:
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

People in India are getting paid around 250 rupees (~$2.60) an hour to record themselves doing mundane tasks from a first-person perspective. The footage is for training humanoid robots that will eventually replace the human need to do chores.
