OpenAI to end partnership with SpaceX’s Cursor
OpenAI said the move follows trust concerns and will not provide future models to the coding startup, including its coming Astra model.
- On Friday, OpenAI announced it is ending its partnership with Cursor, a coding startup SpaceX acquired for $60 billion this month, effective November 12.
- The decision stems from OpenAI's concerns over Elon Musk-owned companies' compliance history, citing Twitter's previous contract violations and the SpaceX CEO's admission that he 'partly' distilled OpenAI's models to train Grok.
- Stating it 'cannot be confident' SpaceX will follow terms, OpenAI exercised a 'limited time window' clause to cancel after the acquisition, noting it uses 'custom contracts' with large partners to ensure compliance.
- Cursor users will lose access to OpenAI models on November 12 and will not receive 'future models,' including Astra, though the startup continues offering Anthropic, Google, and SpaceXAI alternatives.
- This escalation marks the latest chapter in Musk's long-running feud with OpenAI; he sued CEO Sam Altman in 2024 over corporate structure and plans to appeal a May jury ruling against him.
