OPENAI has announced the termination of access for Cursor, an AI coding assistant acquired by SpaceX for $60 billion, citing a history of broken agreements with Elon Musk's companies. OpenAI pointed to past contract violations, including improper use of its data by Musk's startup, xAI. With Cursor's user traffic only 5% reliant on OpenAI, co-founder Michael Truell expressed disappointment over the decision, while rival Anthropic plans to support Cursor with its Claude models.
This move highlights ongoing tensions between OpenAI and Musk following Musk's past attempts to control OpenAI and recent lawsuits over its nonprofit mission.
