Insight Beating AI Flash News: AI coding firm Cognition has received a new round of financing offers, with investors valuing it at $70 billion to $80 billion, even exceeding the $60 billion implied equity valuation when SpaceX acquired Cursor. On September 8, Cognition just raised over $2 billion at a $48 billion valuation. In just seven weeks, the highest offer has increased by 67%. The company is considering another financing round before the end of the year, but nothing has been finalized yet. Cognition’s core product Devin has evolved from assisting in code writing to independently executing software engineering tasks. After acquiring Windsurf last year, it added an AI code editor and enterprise sales channels. At the time of acquisition, Windsurf already had over 350 enterprise clients. Cognition’s annualized revenue grew from $492 million in May this year to over $1 billion in September, with clients including NVIDIA, Citigroup, and Mercedes-Benz. However, compared to Cursor, its valuation is still higher. Cursor’s annualized revenue reached around $4 billion in June, nearly four times that of Cognition, yet Cognition’s current offer is higher. Based on a rough calculation of $1 billion annualized revenue, its valuation equals 70 to 80 times revenue. Moreover, after SpaceX acquired Cursor, it can use SpaceX’s GPU cluster; Cognition, by contrast, spends hundreds of millions of dollars annually renting NVIDIA servers and training its own programming models on open-source models, with cash burn possibly reaching $800 million this year. Insiders said that excluding investment in self-developed models, Cognition’s free cash flow is nearly breaking even, and this investment is precisely its way to reduce reliance on OpenAI and Anthropic models.

The U.S. Dollar Index edged higher during Thursday’s Asian trading session, though it failed to extend its gains and remained above the 102.00 psychological level. Additionally, the index stays near the two-week high it hit on Wednesday, as traders await key U.S. macroeconomic data releases for fresh directional drivers. The U.S. advance third-quarter GDP and Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index are scheduled to be released later today. As markets price in a Federal Reserve rate hike in December, investors will closely watch these figures for more clues on the central bank’s future policy path. Accordingly, strong data would further reinforce market expectations and lift the Dollar Index. Meanwhile, given the Fed’s hawkish pause signal delivered on Wednesday, even if the key data comes in below forecasts, the market’s immediate reaction may be relatively limited. Separately, regional mediators led by Qatar are working to push for the resumption of U.S.-Iran talks to prevent a renewed outbreak of war. However, geopolitical risk premiums persist, meaning that even if the Dollar Index sees a technical pullback, it is more likely to attract dip-buying, keeping its losses relatively contained.
