OpenAI to wind down its model contract with Cursor after SpaceX $60B acquisition
OpenAI
OpenAI posted on its blog that, following SpaceX’s $60B all-stock acquisition of Anysphere (Cursor’s parent) which closed on 2026-08-14, it has notified SpaceX of its intent to wind down the contract under which OpenAI provides its models to Cursor.
Why it matters
Cursor has been one of the largest third-party surfaces for OpenAI models — losing OpenAI access forces Anysphere/SpaceX to either route through another provider, host open-weight models, or renegotiate.
