OpenAI Ends Model Supply Contract for Cursor After SpaceX Acquisition
Summary
OpenAI is terminating its model supply contract with Cursor, the coding tool owned by Anysphere, following SpaceX's $60B acquisition of Anysphere. The cutoff date is November 12, 2026, and OpenAI will not provide future models, including Astra, to Cursor. Cursor CEO Michael Truell says OpenAI models account for about 5% of Cursor user traffic and talks are ongoing. Anthropic's Tom Brown says the company will continue adding computing power to support Claude in Cursor. This is a material development in the AI coding assistant space, as Cursor is a major player and OpenAI's exit could shift market share to Anthropic's Claude. The move follows prior contract disputes involving Elon Musk's companies and a limited termination window after change of control.
