• Sources: Reuters, Bloomberg, OpenAI, discussion
  • Summary: Three sources dated 2026-08-29 carry the termination and none of their bodies could be read, so this block rests on what the article URLs and one page title say. The Reuters article path reads openai-end-partnership-with-spacexs-cursor and the Bloomberg one reads openai-to-end-partnership-with-cursor-after-spacex-acquisition. OpenAI published a page on its own domain the same day titled "Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX", which names a decision without stating its outcome. openai.com returned HTTP 403 on two attempts, Reuters returned HTTP 401 on a retry, and Bloomberg was not retried against a standing 403 note, so the effective date, the scope, and the user impact are not established here.
  • Why it matters: Teams that route work to OpenAI models inside Cursor have to plan for that path closing, and no terms of the change could be read from any source this run reached.
  • Follow-up: Track the effective date and the scope of the change once the OpenAI page body or a readable carrier resolves.
