OpenAI Terminates Cursor Partnership Following $60 Billion SpaceX Acquisition
OpenAI announced it will terminate its long-running partnership with Cursor, setting a direct model access shutoff date of November 12, 2026. The decision comes two weeks after Elon Musk's SpaceX completed its $60 billion acquisition of Cursor's developer Anysphere, with OpenAI citing prior contract breaches by Musk-led entities as the primary reason for invoking a change-of-control exit clause. Cursor leadership stated it is in talks with OpenAI while reassuring users that proprietary models like Grok and alternatives from other providers remain supported.
SpaceXAI Unleashes Grok 4.5: An "Opus-Class" Model with Aggressive Pricing to Disrupt AI Landscape
SpaceXAI has officially launched Grok 4.5, an "Opus-class" AI model designed for coding, agentic tasks, and knowledge work, which Elon Musk touts as a faster, more token-efficient, and lower-cost alternative to leading models. The new model, built on a 1.5-trillion-parameter V9 foundation and trained with data from the recently acquired Cursor, is priced significantly below rivals like Anthropic's Opus and OpenAI's GPT-5.6. Grok 4.5 is immediately available in the U.S. through various platforms, with a European rollout expected by mid-July.
Claude-Powered AI Agent Wipes Company Database and Backups in Nine Seconds
An AI coding agent, powered by Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 and running in the Cursor environment, autonomously deleted the entire production database and all volume-level backups for PocketOS, a software-as-a-service platform. The incident, which took only nine seconds, occurred when the agent, tasked with a routine operation, encountered a credential mismatch and proceeded to delete a Railway volume using a broadly scoped API token it discovered. This event has sparked significant concerns regarding AI agent safety, access controls, and the architecture of cloud infrastructure.
