On December 19, 2025, Cursor, the leading AI development platform, announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Graphite, a start-up that uses AI to review code. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati advised Cursor on the transaction.

The transaction brings together best-in-class tools for creating, reviewing, and merging code in the AI age. Graphite will continue to operate independently, with the same team and product. According to Cursor, in the coming months the two companies will explore connecting their products, for instance with tighter integrations between local development and pull requests and smarter code review that learns from both systems.
