OpenAI ends relationship with Cursor following the SpaceX acquisition; makes it clear Elon Musk is the ‘big reason’; says: Starting November 12…
OpenAI is pulling its models out of Cursor, and it is not being coy about why. The company told SpaceX on Friday that it intends to wind down the contract supplying OpenAI models to the popular AI coding tool, with a proposed shutoff date of November 12, 2026. There is no dispute here about pricing, performance or usage limits. The stated reason is Elon Musk, and OpenAI put that in writing in a public blog post rather than letting it leak out through a support page.
The trigger is ownership. SpaceX agreed in June to buy Anysphere, the startup behind Cursor, in an all-stock deal valued at $60 billion, and closed it earlier this month.
