OpenAI To Cut Off AI Models For SpaceX-owned Cursor

OpenAI said on Friday it will stop providing AI models to Cursor, the coding-tool company now owned by Elon Musk's SpaceX, citing concerns that SpaceX may not comply with its terms of service based on past violations by Musk's companies. Anthropic, a rival, said it plans to increase compute to support Claude models in Cursor, according to co-founder Tom Brown. Musk responded on X, saying "I couldn't care less" and accused OpenAI leaders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman of being "untrustworthy.

"OpenAI said on Friday that it plans to stop providing AI models to Cursor, the coding-tool company now owned by Elon Musk's SpaceX," reports Reuters: "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," OpenAI said in a blog post... However, Michael Truell, a co-founder of Cursor and now an executive at SpaceX, said on X that the company was speaking with the OpenAI team to resolve this issue. Hours after OpenAI's announcement, Anthropic, which rivals both firms but has an ongoing partnership with SpaceX, said it planned to increase compute to support Claude models in Cursor, according to Tom Brown, one of the co-founders of the firm... In its blog post, OpenAI said that X, formerly known as Twitter and now part of SpaceX, had breached the terms of its contract with OpenAI after Musk acquired the platform. "To work with a large partner like SpaceX, we typically rely on custom contracts to ensure compliance with our terms of service and that the integration provides for safety at scale," the AI company added. The article also notes Elon Musk's response Saturday in a post on X.com: "I couldn't care less." He accused Altman and OpenAI President Greg Brockman of being "untrustworthy," while repeating his assertion that they "stole an open source nonprofit."
