Cursor, the AI coding assistant, announced it has acquired Graphite, a startup that uses artificial intelligence to review and debug code. While the deal terms were not disclosed, reports indicate Cursor paid well above Graphite's last $290 million valuation. The acquisition adds Graphite's "stacked pull request" technology to Cursor's Bugbot product, aiming to streamline the transition from AI‑generated code to production. The move reflects a broader trend of AI tools targeting the code‑review market, with competitors like CodeRabbit and Greptile also raising sizable funding. Shared investors such as Accel and Andreessen Horowitz link the two companies, and the deal follows Cursor’s recent spree of acquisitions, including Growth by Design and talent from Koala. Ler mais

CodeRabbit, the AI‑powered code review platform founded by former FluxNinja CEO Harjot Gill, announced a $60 million Series B financing that values the company at $550 million. The startup, launched in early 2023 after Gill observed widespread adoption of AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, now serves more than 8,000 businesses, including Chegg, Groupon and Mercury. Riding rapid growth—20 percent month‑over‑month and over $15 million in annual recurring revenue—CodeRabbit aims to cut human code‑review effort in half. The round was led by Scale Venture Partners with participation from NVentures and CRV, while competitors such as Graphite and Greptile also pursue funding. Ler mais
