The U.S. company OpenAI announced that it will stop providing its AI models to the AI code editor Cursor on November 12. The reason is that Anysphere, the company that develops Cursor, was acquired by Elon Musk's SpaceX. As a result of this decision, from November 12 onward users will no longer be able to select and use OpenAI models such as GPT directly from the Cursor interface.

Explaining why it is ending the contract, OpenAI said that companies affiliated with Musk have committed terms-of-service violations in the past, so it cannot be confident that its technology will be used appropriately under SpaceX. As specific examples, it cites violations after the acquisition of Twitter and violations by xAI, which is now part of SpaceX. The contract between OpenAI and Cursor contains a clause allowing the contract to be terminated if control of the company changes through an acquisition or similar event, and OpenAI says it exercised that right in this case. It also plans not to provide Cursor with Astra, its next-generation model currently under development.

Michael Truell, CEO of Anysphere, which develops Cursor, said that the impact would be limited because OpenAI models account for only about 5% of all access through Cursor, and explained that the company is continuing discussions with OpenAI toward resolving the issue. Meanwhile, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk posted 'I don't care' on social media and strongly criticized OpenAI's management. Anthropic, for its part, has indicated that it will continue offering its Claude models through Cursor and will strengthen its support.
