OpenAI said it will wind down its contract providing OpenAI models to Cursor after SpaceX's acquisition, citing concerns about terms-of-service violations such as distillation. Users can still bring their own OpenAI API key or use the Codex IDE extension and compatible gateways. Cursor's CEO said OpenAI models serve about 5% of traffic.

Cursor is an AI-assisted coding environment from Anysphere, built as an IDE with an agent CLI and cloud agents. It offers autocomplete, targeted edits, and autonomous agents that can run in parallel and hand off tasks. Its changelog lists voice chat with agents, an Agent SDK, live app building and cloud agent canvases. Cursor's site states it is now part of SpaceX, and it has released its own Composer 2 model, with a technical report published.
Access is through the desktop app and CLI, with tiered plans. The pricing page shows Free, Plus ($8/month, Grok models only), Premium ($30/month), Super ($100/month) and Ultra ($200/month), plus Teams ($30+/user/month) and Enterprise. Higher tiers add cloud agents and automations, code hosting, Bugbot AI code reviews and Grok Bot. Third-party models are billed separately by usage at API list price. Team and enterprise features include SSO (SAML/OIDC), SCIM, audit logs, spend controls and privacy settings.
Reported limits: after the SpaceX acquisition, OpenAI said it will wind down its contract supplying OpenAI models to Cursor. According to a creator's summary, users can still bring their own OpenAI API key, and OpenAI models were reportedly about 5% of traffic. The pricing page appears to bundle Cursor with Grok and X-related features, so plan contents may be in flux.
- Agent mode with autonomous, parallel task execution
- Cloud agents and automations
- Agent CLI and Agent SDK
- Bugbot AI code reviews and code hosting
- Bring-your-own or third-party models billed by usage
- Team controls: SSO, SCIM, audit logs, spend limits

Cursor engineers reportedly call the Cursor agent CLI and cloud agents from Grok Bot, with one bot per project and work stream kicked off from Slack. The bot follows up on PRs until CI is green. The creator has not tried it himself.
AI IDE acquired by SpaceX/xAI in April. Its coding data combined with xAI's GPUs is credited for Grok's improvement, and Grok 4.6 is available in it.
Third-party harness with an auto mode that routes tasks to appropriate models. Its sub-agents delegate work to Composer 2.5.
The creator runs GLM-5.2 inside Cursor for a MegaBonk clone, a Chrome extension, downloads cleanup and self-improving skills built from his meeting notes.
One of the creator's two primary coding agents; supports models from multiple vendors, was early with cloud agents, and offers automations, rules and worktrees. Cloud agents provide video and screenshots of changes. Cursor also announced a Git alternative built for agent-scale deployment.
