The Information's TITV

Welcome everyone to The Informations TITV. My name is Stephanie Palazzolo and it's Monday, August 10th. Before we start the show, Intel announced it'll be raising $15 billion in stock to fund the company's expansion in the competitive chip market. And today on the show, we'll learn more about SpaceX's timeline to complete its massive $60 billion acquisition of Cursor and what the deal means for Cursor's brand. We'll then break down Meta's push to release its most powerful AI models, open source,

as it continues to battle open AI and Anthropic. We'll talk to the CEO of AMP, Quin Slack, about that. Plus, we'll unpack how Microsoft plans to significantly ramp up production of its homegrown AI chips next year. And to wrap it up, we'll take a look at why AWS leaders are telling their engineers to cut back on CPU waste. It's going to be a great show, so let's get right on into it.

The Information Publishers, The Information Publishers, exclusive details about how close SpaceX is to closing its $60 billion acquisition of Cursor and what that means for the Cursor brand. Our Elon Musk reporter, Grace Kay, wrote the story and joins me now. Welcome to the show, Grace. Thanks. So, what exactly did you learn in your reporting?

Yeah. So, I learned that Cursor had an all-hands on Thursday with staff, and they told them that the deal with SpaceX could close as soon as the end of, like, this week. They also told them some updates regarding future branding for Cursor products and gave them a little bit of information about how they're going to integrate into SpaceX's AI division.
