OpenAI announces its decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX

OpenAI has published a note on its website under the headline “Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX.” The title implies that the occasion was a deal in which the popular tool for writing code with the help of AI — the Cursor editor — passed under the control of the space company SpaceX, and that OpenAI, for its part, has settled on its own response to the event.

The substance of the decision itself could not be determined from the available materials: the text of the publication could not be obtained at the time this note was prepared. All that is known is that the piece drew notable interest in the community — on Hacker News it gathered 93 points and 28 comments, pointing to a lively discussion around the topic.

The combination of players — the AI-model developer OpenAI, the programmers' tool Cursor, and the aerospace firm SpaceX — is itself striking and explains the audience's attention. As soon as the details of the publication become available, we will return to the topic and report what exactly the decision entails and how it will affect users of the editor.
