SpaceX has launched the Super Intelligence Partner Network, a channel programme for its Grok artificial intelligence platform, CRN reported.
More than 130 early-access partners have signed up, including systems integrators, consultants, services firms and independent software vendors.
The programme runs under the SpaceXSI name and splits partners into two tracks.
Transformation partners deploy Grok across a customer's operations using forward-deployed engineers, who work on site with the client.
Marketplace partners build plug-ins and integrations that link Grok to the tools customers already use.
Both tracks have three tiers, based on experience and customer results.
Who is in
Named early-access participants include Nvidia, Snowflake, Databricks, Bain & Company, Booz Allen Hamilton, EPAM, NTT DATA, Tech Mahindra, MongoDB, Twilio and Zscaler.
A related accreditation scheme for forward-deployed engineers has trained staff at more than 30 organisations.
The Cursor effect
The launch follows SpaceX's acquisition of Cursor, the AI coding start-up, in an all-stock deal worth $60 billion.
Ashley Hickey, who now directs the programme, previously ran North America channels for Cursor.
Scott Blahauvietz of Ahead, a solution provider, says Cursor's influence shows in the design.
"I don't think SpaceX AI really had a very mature partner program," he told CRN. "A lot of what they've done has been a result of what Cursor brought to the table post-acquisition."
SpaceX did not respond to CRN's request for more detail.
