Anysphere, a company behind the AI-driven coding assistant Cursor, has secured a monumental $900 million in new investment, according to a recent report. Sources with insight into the matter revealed that Thrive Capital is leading the latest funding injection, reflecting growing excitement in the AI coding sector.
Previous backers such as Andreessen Horowitz and Accel are once again joining the funding round, while Anysphere‘s valuation is now nearing $9 billion. News outlets highlighted that the company attracted $105 million in December, raising its profile considerably.
Reports indicate that Anysphere has amassed over $173 million in funding from various investors to date. The firm seems to have no shortage of interested parties, as both Index Ventures and Benchmark are said to be eager to become involved.
AI Coding Landscape Gains Momentum
Rival startups in the AI-powered coding market are also drawing significant attention from investors. Earlier this year, Windsurf, a competitor to Anysphere, was rumored to be negotiating a large funding deal that could bring its value to $3 billion.
The activity has not gone unnoticed among industry giants. Rumors have circulated that OpenAI, which already counts AI coding startup as part of its investment portfolio, attempted to acquire Windsurf for a similar sum.
As AI coding tools continue to gain traction, top venture firms remain highly interested in supporting companies like Anysphere and its fast-rising competitors. The pace of investment reflects a broader industry shift toward intelligent programming solutions that are reshaping how developers write code.
