OpenAI to stop providing models to Cursor from Nov 12 after SpaceX acquisition
OpenAI announced it will wind down its contract providing models to Cursor, with a proposed shutoff date of November 12, 2026, citing inability to ensure SpaceX will use the technology within its terms of service. The decision follows SpaceX's acquisition of Cursor and alleged contract violations by Musk's companies, including xAI's admission of distilling OpenAI data. Cursor co-founder Michael Truell responded that OpenAI represents only 5% of Cursor's traffic, while Musk said he "couldn't care less."

OpenAI : OpenAI says it plans to stop providing its models to Cursor from November 12, as “we cannot be confident that SpaceX will use our technology within our ToS” — Today, we notified SpaceX that we intend to wind down our contract providing OpenAI models to Cursor, with a proposed shutoff date of November 12, 2026.

这似乎有点不太 Open 了。 刚刚，OpenAI 发布一份声明，宣布终止与 Cursor 的合作关系。「根据我们的提议，Cursor 对我们模型的直接访问将于 11 月 12 日 结束。」 至于原因，OpenAI 也没有避讳： Cursor 被 SpaceX 收购后，已经不被 OpenAI 信任 。毕竟，奥特曼与马斯克的过节可说是众人皆知。 「马斯克想蒸馏我数据」 OpenAI 在博客中表示：「这个决定非常艰难，因为我们非常重视让开发者广泛使用我们的模型。我们做出这一选择，是因为根据我们与 埃隆·马斯克旗下公司违反合同的经验 ，我们无法确信 SpaceX 会在我们的服务条款范围内使用我们的技术。」 OpenAI 进一步解释，通常情况下，对于像 SpaceX 这样的大型合作伙伴，公司会通过定制合同开展合作，以确保对方遵守公司的服务条款，同时保证相关集成能够满足大规模应用下的安全要求。 而在马斯克收购 Twitter（现已并入 SpaceX，更名为 X）后，该公司曾违反与 OpenAI 的合同条款，同时也违反了与其他多方签订的合同。今年早些时候，马斯克在宣誓作证时承认，现同样隶属于 SpaceX 的 xAI 曾违反 OpenAI 的服务条款，而这些条款与 xAI 自己的服务条款也十分相似。 针对这两条指控，OpenAI 还「贴心」附上了外部报道链接。 https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2026/04/30/elon-musk-admits-xai-distilled-openai-data-to-train-models-heres-what-that-means/ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/27/technology/elon-musk-ai-openai.html 因此，在这桩桩件件的「黑历史」面前，OpenAI 难以相信如今换了主人的 Cusor 不会出现这样的违规行为。为了提前止损，OpenAI 决定趁控制权变更条款仍然有效时退出。 不过，截至发稿，马斯克方面尚未就 OpenAI 这一表述作出回应。 而 Cursor 的创始人 Michael Truell 「坐不住」了，立即发推进行了反击，他除了表示遗憾之外也指出， GPT 系列模型在 Cursor 用户中间的占比
