Cursor CEO and co-founder Michael Truell said OpenAI has issued a note that it plans to block Cursor users from accessing OpenAI models in three months.
- OpenAI models currently serve about 5% of Cursor user traffic, and Cursor is talking with the OpenAI team to resolve this.
- Truell noted Cursor was one of OpenAI's very first users, had worked closely with them for years, and had trusted the platform as neutral infrastructure for its business.
