SpaceX launched the Super Intelligence Partner Network on Thursday, a formal program for companies that build products, services and integrations on Grok. More than 130 companies took part in the program's early-access phase, and the launch roster includes Nvidia, Snowflake, Databricks, Apollo Global Management, Bain & Company and Booz Allen Hamilton.
SpaceX described the network as its official program for firms working with Grok on joint prospects and customers. Partners get training, tools and support for those engagements, and their staff can take SpaceX's Forward Deployed Engineer course. SpaceX said partners are already serving customers across industries and regions, from startups to Fortune 20 companies.
“increasingly using Grok Bot as a force multiplier across sales, marketing, IT and engineering”— Gwynne Shotwell, President of SpaceX
The program splits partners into two groups. Transformation Partners help customers roll out the Grok platform across an enterprise. Marketplace Partners build plugins and product integrations so Grok works with software customers already run.
Key facts
- 01SpaceX launched the Super Intelligence Partner Network on October 22, 2026, for companies building on Grok.
- 02More than 130 companies took part in the program's early-access phase.
- 03Launch partners include Nvidia, Snowflake, Databricks, Apollo, Bain & Company, Booz Allen, MongoDB and Twilio.
- 04Engineers at more than 30 organizations have been trained through a Forward Deployed Engineer accreditation program.
- 05Grok Bot had more than 800,000 paying weekly users in October, double the prior month.
On the services side, SpaceX said Transformation Partners are building capacity through a Forward Deployed Engineer accreditation program, with engineers trained at more than 30 organizations so far. Galatiq, one of the named launch partners, describes itself as a Grok-powered forward deployed engineering firm. Marketplace Partners, SpaceX said, are reporting growing adoption of their products alongside Grok.
The full partner list reads like an enterprise software stack. Alongside the headline names, it includes MongoDB, ClickHouse, Twilio, Webflow, Zscaler, Sentry, Semgrep, CodeRabbit, Mixpanel, Supabase, NTT DATA and EPAM, among others. Several of those are developer-tooling and security vendors, which fits the coding-agent focus SpaceX's partners described in the announcement.
“The biggest barrier to deploying AI coding agents in production isn't code generation, it's security, permissions, and operational integrity.”— Vivek Raghunathan, SVP of Engineering, Snowflake
Databricks framed its participation around the data layer. Ron Gabrisko, Databricks' chief revenue officer, said in the announcement that "Companies are rapidly building software with AI, and we're thrilled to partner with SpaceXSI to accelerate this transition." Snowflake's Vivek Raghunathan said Snowflake's role is to make sure agent actions follow organizational logic, system guardrails and audit trails.
The network gives SpaceX's AI unit a channel it has lacked. SpaceX has trailed OpenAI and Anthropic in selling AI to businesses, and Grok had made little progress with US federal agencies as of May. Apollo was among the first Wall Street firms to test Grok after helping finance chips for SpaceX's AI unit.
The business is growing from a different base. SpaceX said its AI unit recently overtook Starlink in revenue and turned a profit in the third quarter, mostly by renting out computing power at its Memphis data centers rather than by selling Grok subscriptions.
Grok Bot, the agent product SpaceX launched in August, had more than 800,000 paying weekly users in October, double the previous month. Earlier this month, Elon Musk said Grok Bot would also route work to Anthropic's Claude when that model produces better results. SpaceX also recently closed a $60 billion deal for the coding startup Cursor.
