OpenAI is ending its model supply contract to Cursor following SpaceX's acquisition of the coding tool, citing trust issues due to SpaceX's history with contract breaches. The termination will take effect on 12 November 2026, exposing risks around model supply as revocable licences rather than guaranteed infrastructure.
