OpenAI to cut off AI models for SpaceX-owned Cursor, escalating feud with Musk

OpenAI has announced it will revoke API access for Cursor, an AI-powered code editor that utilizes OpenAI's models. This action marks an escalation in the ongoing public disagreements between OpenAI and Elon Musk, who co-founded the organization before departing. Musk has been critical of OpenAI's direction and its perceived departure from its original mission.

The dispute highlights tensions over the commercialization and accessibility of advanced AI technologies. Cursor, a company backed by Musk, relied on OpenAI's powerful language models for its core functionality. The cut-off could significantly impact Cursor's operations and further strains the already complicated relationship between Musk and the AI research lab he helped establish.
