Cursor's research post breaking down where coding-agent inference spend goes in its production traffic (tool outputs, tool definitions, reasoning) and describing changes it made to how agents manage context and choose subagent models. Figures are Cursor's own.
OpenAI's official statement explaining why it is winding down the contract that supplied its models to Cursor (Anysphere) after SpaceX completed its $60B acquisition of the AI coding company in August 2026.
In plain terms: OpenAI says it will stop supplying its models to the AI coding tool Cursor after SpaceX bought the company, citing concerns about terms-of-service compliance. Cursor users may lose access to OpenAI models, so the practical takeaway is not to depend on a single AI tool or provider.
Why I recommend it: A clear-eyed lesson in platform risk: the tools you build your workflow on can lose access to the models that make them work. If you code, write, or job hunt with an AI tool, know which models sit underneath it and keep a backup you already know how to use.
