OpenAI to end partnership with SpaceX’s Cursor

  • On Friday, OpenAI announced it is ending its partnership with Cursor, a coding startup SpaceX acquired for $60 billion this month, effective November 12.
  • OpenAI cited past conduct by Elon Musk-owned companies, specifically Twitter's contract violations and the SpaceX CEO's admission that he 'partly' distilled OpenAI's models to train Grok.
  • The partnership provided a 'limited time window' to cancel after acquisition, with OpenAI saying it uses 'custom contracts' with large partners to ensure compliance.
  • Cursor users will lose access to OpenAI models on November 12, though the startup continues offering models from Anthropic, Google, and SpaceXAI without receiving 'future models' including Astra.
  • This move escalates the long-running feud between OpenAI and Musk, who sued CEO Sam Altman in 2024; Musk plans to appeal a federal jury ruling that he waited too long to bring the case.
