Cursor has spent the past week in headlines after confirming a partnership with SpaceX that could eventually lead to a $60 billion acquisition. The deal, for now, centres on training more capable coding models using SpaceX’s compute infrastructure.
Alongside that push on model performance, however, Cursor is now addressing a separate issue: the reliability of the code those models produce.
Cursor has partnered with Chainguard, which provides verified open-source packages, to route dependencies through its curated repositories, aiming to reduce the risk of compromised components entering AI-built applications.
The announcement lands as AI coding tools push more software into production with less human review, raising questions about how much of that code can be trusted.
