OpenAI Ends Cursor AI Model Access Following SpaceX Acquisition
OpenAI announced it will terminate access for developers using its AI models through Cursor, an AI coding tool now owned by SpaceX. The cutoff date is set for Nov. 12, 2026, with no future model support from OpenAI to the service. OpenAI cited concerns over SpaceX's adherence to terms of service and referenced past issues involving Elon Musk’s companies violating contracts. Cursor co-founder Michael Truell stated that only about 5% of Cursor users rely on OpenAI models but noted ongoing discussions for a resolution. Meanwhile, Musk criticized OpenAI leadership online while Anthropic expressed support by offering increased compute resources to its Claude models used in Cursor. The situation reflects broader tensions between Musk and OpenAI following the latter’s shift from nonprofit to for-profit status.
