OpenAI and SpaceX-owned Cursor partnership dispute
Overview
OpenAI announced it will terminate access to its AI models for the coding tool Cursor, effective November 12, 2026. This decision follows SpaceX’s $60 billion acquisition of Anysphere, the startup behind Cursor.
OpenAI cited concerns regarding contract compliance and a change-of-control clause. The company stated, “We are making this choice because we cannot be confident that SpaceX will use our technology within our terms of service, based on our experience with Elon Musk’s companies violating contracts.”
While the partnership is estimated to generate over $1 billion in annual revenue for OpenAI, Cursor CEO Michael Truell indicated the impact on user traffic would be minimal, as OpenAI models currently account for approximately 5% of Cursor’s traffic. To maintain services, Cursor plans to increase reliance on its own technology, models from Anthropic and Google, and xAI’s Grok models.
