[AINews] OpenAI shuts off Cursor
OpenAI cut Cursor off after SpaceX acquisition, citing Elon Musk contract violations
“our experience with Elon Musk's companies violating contracts”— Elon Musk
OpenAI terminated API access to Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX, officially citing a history of Elon Musk's companies violating contracts — mirroring Anthropic's earlier move against Windsurf. This marks a significant fracture in the AI coding tool ecosystem, with Cursor now promoting Grok 4.6 and OpenAI's GPT 5.6 emerging as a serious Claude competitor, signaling a full competitive realignment across the coding AI stack.
