OpenAI Cuts Cursor Access After SpaceX Acquisition

OpenAI is ending developers' access to its models on Cursor. This follows the acquisition of the AI coding startup, Cursor, by Elon Musk's SpaceX. OpenAI states it cannot be confident SpaceX will use its technology within its terms of service. This is based on past experience with Elon Musk's companies. The proposed shutoff date for OpenAI models via Cursor is November 12, 2026. OpenAI will also not provide future models to Cursor. Cursor's CEO says OpenAI models serve about 5% of their user traffic. He notes Cursor was an early user of OpenAI. SpaceX completed its acquisition of Cursor on August 14. This move by OpenAI is part of an ongoing conflict between Musk and OpenAI leadership. This development highlights the complex relationships and rivalries shaping the future of AI technology.
