SpaceXAI releases first Grok model developed with Cursor

SpaceXAI has rolled out Grok 4.5, a new artificial intelligence model developed with AI coding startup Cursor targeting the finance, legal and coding industries. In a company blog post, Cursor said the latest Grok model was built to "handle difficult, long-running tasks" and touted its enhanced cybersecurity capabilities. First flagged by The Information, the launch follows SpaceX's acquisition of Cursor at $60 billion. The move is part of SpaceXAI's strategy to compete with rival models from Anthropic and OpenAI, and recruit new Wall Street clients.

Anthropic undercuts rivals with cheaper Claude Sonnet 5

Anthropic on Tuesday unveiled its latest Sonnet-class model, designed to deliver enhanced agentic capabilities at a competitive cost. Dubbed Claude Sonnet 5, Anthropic says the next-generation model allows users to autonomously complete complex tasks, and shows significant improvements over its predecessor in reasoning and coding. The new default model for Free and Pro plans, Sonnet 5's arrival comes as tech companies search for cost-efficient solutions to meet explosive AI token consumption. Meanwhile, Anthropic still awaits government approval for restored access of its most powerful AI systems, Mythos and Fable.

Ford finds AI can't replace people — at least in 1 area

Lots of companies are cutting back on human hires as they embrace AI. Ford is doing the opposite. The automaker hired 350 experienced engineers over the past three years to help fix the "seemingly intractable quality woes" it's been facing — woes that AI didn't handle well enough, admitted COO Kumar Galhotra. Now, with the support of the "gray beard" engineers, Ford's cut down on recall costs and warranty coverages, CEO Jim Farley revealed Thursday, and JD Power crowned it the top mainstream car brand in terms of quality.
