Summary

OpenAI has decided to stop providing its AI models to Cursor, a code editor tool, after SpaceX acquired the company, with service ending on November 12, 2026. OpenAI made this decision because it does not trust that SpaceX will follow OpenAI's terms of service (rules for how the technology can be used), based on past violations by other companies owned by Elon Musk. OpenAI is giving maximum advance notice to developers who use Cursor so they have time to find alternatives.
