Cursor is an AI coding startup that provides an IDE and, after its $60 billion acquisition by SpaceX, has been positioned as part of SpaceX’s AI portfolio. In recent coverage, Cursor launched Origin, a Git-compatible code hosting platform integrated with the Cursor desktop client and designed for AI coding agents, including GitHub syncing. Cursor’s access to OpenAI models has been wound down following a change of control, with OpenAI notifying SpaceX that Cursor would lose model access under the current agreement (with a proposed shutoff date reported as November 12, 2026).
