OpenAI to cut off AI models for SpaceX-owned Cursor, escalating feud with Musk
OpenAI announced on Friday that it will cease providing AI models to Cursor, a coding tool company now owned by Elon Musk's SpaceX, escalating tensions between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Musk. The decision stems from OpenAI's concerns that SpaceX may not adhere to their terms of service, citing past instances of Musk's companies breaching contracts.
Musk dismissed the move, accusing Altman and OpenAI President Greg Brockman of being untrustworthy and repeating his claim that they had "stolen" the company's open-source, nonprofit mission. Despite OpenAI's assertion that Musk filed the lawsuit too late, it remains a significant development in the ongoing rivalry between the two tech giants, with Anthropic planning to increase compute support for Cursor's Claude models in response.
