SpaceX approached artificial intelligence coding startup Cognition AI Inc. about a potential acquisition, according to people familiar with the matter, in what would have been its second large takeover in recent months to gain ground in the AI race.
Cognition didn’t engage with the takeover approach, one person said. There are ongoing discussions about working together, including potentially arranging for Cognition to use SpaceX’s computing capacity, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity as the information is not public.
