On Wednesday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in a blog post that AI is now writing 75% of new code at the company. This is up from 50% last fall. Pichai said all code is “approved by engineers.”
Google announced new TPU 8 chips today at its annual Cloud Next event. Pichai wrote:
“We’re now shifting to truly agentic workflows. Our engineers are orchestrating fully autonomous digital task forces, firing off agents and accomplishing incredible things.”
Tesla signed a deal that lets more than 50,000 public agencies — including police departments and school districts — buy its vehicles without the usual slow bidding process, making it much easier to compete in a market long dominated by Ford and General Motors. The public sector currently represents less than 1% of Tesla’s sales.
The move doesn’t guarantee orders, but it removes a major barrier at a time when Tesla is looking for new demand to bolster its main source of revenues. Tesla’s Q1 deliveries fell short of analyst expectations and annual sales have declined for two years in a row. The public sector also represents a large pool of buyers who are beyond Elon Musk’s other companies.

The New York Times took a close look at how Elon Musk is reshaping SpaceX’s priorities ahead of its highly anticipated, potentially record-breaking IPO — and what that could mean for the company and its investors.
As the NYT’s Ryan Mac noted in the article, “Shifting aims before an I.P.O. would be unthinkable for most corporate leaders, who tend to focus on their core businesses and try to project steadiness to potential investors.”
But Musk, who is also the ever-unpredictable CEO of Tesla, doesn’t follow typical playbooks. Here’s a quick look at how SpaceX’s goals have changed:

SpaceX said today that it’s “working closely together” with fast-growing coding startup Cursor “to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI.” The post also said SpaceX would have the right to acquire Cursor later this year or make the startup “pay $10 billion for our work together.” The New York Times, citing people familiar with the matter, previously reported that the companies had agreed to an acquisition.
The news comes as SpaceX prepares for a blockbuster IPO and doubles down on AI, with a growing — if still fully aspirational — focus on space-based data infrastructure and computing.
Last month, when SpaceX hired two senior leaders from Cursor, CEO Elon Musk noted that xAI, which SpaceX acquired earlier this year, “was not built right first time around, so is being rebuilt from the foundations up.”
