SpaceX’s Cursor has started the beta roll-out of its GitHub alternative, Origin, to Pro, Teams, and Enterprise subscribers on its paid plans.

One of the features Origin is launching with right away is GitHub sync, which lets you mirror your GitHub repositories into Origin in real time while keeping GitHub as the main source of truth for existing projects.

There are also other stuff you"d expect from a git host like creating repositories directly from Cursor agents, reviewing stacked pull requests with diffs, managing settings, connecting automations to repositories, and browsing code via the new web interface. Developers can also connect third-party integrations like Vercel for preview deployments, alongside Depot and Buildkite to run CI workflows.

Cursor first announced Origin in June at its debut developer event in San Francisco, pitching it as a "git forge for the agentic era." GitHub and GitLab, the company argued, were designed around developers writing code, opening PRs, and waiting for reviews. That can take days. An AI agent can generate changes much faster, sometimes several at once, which puts a very different kind of load on git hosts like GitHub. In its June demo, Cursor showed a swarm of AI agents pushing 22.6 commits per second while sustaining 81K pushes and 295K clones per hour on a single repository.

GitHub has been dealing with a lot of outages over the last few months. In January this year, there were at least two incidents with a model update configuration bug causing a 100% error rate on Copilot.

The next month was even worse with more than 5 incidents hitting PRs, Actions runners, webhooks, issues, Git pushes, Pages, and Packages within a single 12-hour period on February 9. There"s literally been no month so far without a single incident. Just hours ago, the Microsoft-owned giant reported another outage that affected core APIs and web pages while causing a 50% failure rate on raw.githubusercontent.com, breaking package installs and Docker builds around the world.

Hopefully first of many new and interesting projects on Starfall.

SpaceXAI launches Grok Bot, an always-on AI agent

Rockets are taking a back seat to AI.
August 12, 2026

Elon Musk's SpaceXAI (yes, that's the company name now) has introduced Grok Bot, a team of always-on AI agents that can accomplish tasks in the background while you work on other stuff.

There's some number confusion here: the feature is called "Grok Bot," but the introductory post keeps referring to it in the plural. In practice, it should resemble a "highly capable teammate" to which you can give tasks simply by chatting with it.
And yes, you can run several bots in parallel and even have one manage a team of bots, which can independently message each other as they work to accomplish a task. Bots can also be placed in a group chat where they can work and communicate together as a team of actual humans would. "They pass work, assign ownership, and only pull you in for judgment calls," says SpaceXAI.

SpaceXAI provides a couple of examples of how its own teams are using Grok Bot. In one example, a Bot sends invites and follow-ups to collect NDA signatures for beta access to a feature; in another, a bot finds open invoices across portals and email, sends follow-ups in the same voice, logs replies, and only escalates the ones that are stuck or disputed.

Grok Bot is in beta and is now available to SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra, and Cursor Teams Premium subscribers on desktop and iOS. As for Enterprise users, there's a waitlist they can join to get access in the future.

SpaceXAI's Grok Bot follows in the footsteps of other companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic, which offer similar, persistent AI agents that can do work in the background and as a team.

View Poll

Communications company Viasat has now lost 81% of its fixed broadband subscribers since SpaceX started offering @Starlink services to the public in 2020.

Viasat now has 115,000 subscribers in the US – a decrease from 603,000 reported in Sept 2020. In Q2 2026 alone, they lost another 15,000 subs.

Viasat plans to start serving users from its next-generation F2 satellite next month, which they say is able to deliver 100+ Mbps download speed, but latency is still expected to be 10-20x worse than Starlink's satellites.

SpaceX President and COO joins Morgan Brennan to discuss the company’s IPO, growing connectivity business, Starship, AI investments, Tesla merger speculation, Elon Musk relationship, governance and much more.

Saw this helpful reminder post from Fidelity, assume other brokerages work similarly.

SpaceX has already received orders for more than the shares available in its $75 billion initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter, putting the company on the verge of setting the record for the biggest-ever listing.
The IPO for Elon Musk’s rocket, satellite and artificial intelligence company is oversubscribed after one-on-one meetings between the company and institutional investors, one of the people said, asking not to be identified as the information isn’t public. The Starbase, Texas-based company is offering about 555.6 million shares at $135 each in a deal that could value it at roughly $1.8 trillion.
