Cursor confirmed on August 14, 2026 that it has been acquired by SpaceX. The announcement runs thirteen sentences: it talks about GPUs, cheaper models, and the horizon, and says nothing about your code. We separate what's in a primary source from what's press-only (including the $60 billion), show what actually changes in the editor (Grok 4.6 in the house pool, Claude hidden by default, the Router choosing for you), and close with a checklist for anyone who depends on Cursor in production.

DeepSeek published DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 on its official pricing page, and the official V4 Pro release has finally dropped the preview label. The reported numbers, what's fact and what still has no public document, the comparison with Flash 0731 and Opus 4.8, and the notice on the pricing page itself that DeepSeek is going to raise prices soon.

The press says Muse Glimmer 30B requires a 5090. r/LocalLLaMA is posting screenshots of it running on a used 3090 from 2020. Both are right, and the explanation is in the VRAM budget: 17 GB of weights, 1.7 GB of KV cache, and an attention architecture designed to fit. Here's the math line by line, the tokens-per-second estimate on a 3090 with the work shown, and the verdict on when 24 GB is enough and when it isn't.

Gemini 3.5 Pro still isn't out, and every week there's a new date going around. I separated what Google has confirmed in writing from what's just a leak with no reproducible data, with the timeline of delays since I/O in May. And I built a 20-line watcher on the Gemini API models endpoint that pings you the minute gemini-3.5-pro shows up, plus a model fallback in Laravel so the switch becomes one line of .env.

DeepSeek republished the V4-Flash weights on July 31 without changing the model name in the API: anyone calling deepseek-v4-flash woke up running a different model, with no changelog. The real 0731 numbers (82.7 on Terminal Bench, but 79% in the independent measurement), where it beats GPT-5.6 Luna and where it loses, the 169 GB to run it locally and what to do if your agent points at a model name that became a moving target.
