OpenAI has decided to terminate its contract with Cursor, a developer tool, following its acquisition by SpaceX. The shutdown is set for November 12, 2026.
OpenAI announced today that it will terminate its contract with Cursor, a developer tool, following its acquisition by SpaceX. The decision, which was communicated to SpaceX on August 28, 2026, is set to take effect on November 12, 2026. OpenAI stated that this decision was made to ensure compliance with its terms of service, citing past experiences with Elon Musk's companies violating contracts. OpenAI has worked with Cursor for nearly four years and respects the team and their product, but cannot be confident that SpaceX will adhere to the terms of service. The company is giving developers the maximum notice possible to transition to other solutions. OpenAI also mentioned its upcoming model, Astra, and the need for a new level of accountability to ensure its proper use. The company is committed to supporting developers during this transition period.
