Cursor launches code-hosting platform to rival GitHub

Cursor, the AI code editor now owned by SpaceX, is launching a new code-hosting platform aimed at developers frustrated with GitHub. The move takes Cursor beyond its editor and into hosting infrastructure, a space GitHub has long dominated.

Why it matters: This follows SpaceX's recent acquisition of Cursor and signals a push to build a vertically integrated, AI-native developer stack rather than plugging into GitHub, which is owned by Microsoft, a major OpenAI backer. If it gains traction, it could fragment developer tooling along AI-lab lines.
