  "account": "OpenAI announced plans to cut Cursor's direct access to its models in November, citing incidents involving Elon Musk's companies - including Twitter's violation of data-licensing terms and Musk's use of OpenAI models through distillation at xAI. The deal for Cursor by SpaceX, valued at $60 billion, has led OpenAI to reassess its stance. Anthropic, OpenAI's rival, has publicly confirmed its continued support for Cursor and increased compute for Claude models, following a similar move when Anthropic cut access to Windsurf in 2025. The company's trust in Cursor is attributed to its compute needs, as Anthropic secured the entire output of SpaceX's Colossus 1 data center, providing over 300 megawatts of compute and more than 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, which allows for significant increases in Claude usage.",
