🔌 OpenAI cuts off Cursor and Nvidia circles Hugging Face

⚡ aiBytes_ #7

Good morning, builders 👋

Welcome back to your Monday-morning dose of aiBytes_. I have always liked Cursor because it gave access to all models unlike Codex & Claude Code but now that's going away. SpaceX bought Cursor, and in an interesting AI war OpenAI decided to not support its model inside Cursor. Will that make Cursor less useful? Yet to see!!

The neutral ground is getting bought: Cursor was the editor where you could pick any model, and Hugging Face is the platform where the open weights live. Cursor now belongs to SpaceX; Hugging Face has Nvidia reportedly circling it for $13B.

Today: Cursor losing its OpenAI models, two courts pointing at Anthropic, five launches and seven repos, and the developers who got replaced by AI and open-sourced an AI CEO in return.

🔌 OpenAI is cutting Cursor off from its models - SpaceX bought the editor, and OpenAI named November 12 as the day its models stop serving it. Your own API key still works. Story of the week (OpenAI)
