@OpenAI is winding down its contract with @Cursor, following Cursor's acquisition by SpaceX.
The two companies have worked together for nearly four years. But OpenAI's contract with Cursor included a clause allowing cancellation after a change of ownership, and they're using it. They have all the right to do so.
I love @Cursor. It's enabled me to build (vibe code) so many web apps, sites, extensions, and little things quickly that 1. bring me joy and 2. help me with work or realize personal projects. However... I'm seeing a TON of movement around @Claude by Anthropic's Claude Code. I haven't personally tried it but it's apparently insane (and can also be expensive?) I'm curious. Should I switch? What are you currently using? Or do they both have their own use case. I right now like cursor because I can build directly in a GitHub repo or locally and it helps me learn my way around an IDE. Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts!
Half the threads here are about accuracy and fewer iterations. One source of rework I rarely see named: when I paste a screenshot, Cursor has to guess which element on a busy screen I actually meant, and it edits the wrong one. Then I'm re-prompting, which is its own iteration tax.
Curious how much of your rework is this specific thing versus raw model quality. And what's your fix, crop hard, or describe the element in text?
Cursor is now available as a native iOS app in public beta, so you can build from anywhere.
Until now, developers have worked around the limits of their local machines, keeping laptops half-open and caffeinated everywhere they go.
With Cursor for iOS, you can launch always-on agents in the cloud, or control agents running on your computer from your phone. Kick them off when ideas strike, get notified when work is ready for review, and merge PRs on the go.
Origin is Cursor's new code hosting platform, built for a world where humans and coding agents work side by side. Create and host Git repos directly in Cursor, browse and search code, open and review pull requests, manage access, and sync with GitHub. Your code now lives next to the agents working on it—with more agent-native features on the way.
Just saw reports that SpaceX acquired Cursor in an all-stock deal valued at $60 billion.
This is one of the most insane startup outcomes we've ever seen:
Cursor was founded only ~4 years ago.
The reported price tag would make it one of the largest startup acquisitions in history.
It went from "just a VS Code wrapper" jokes to becoming the default AI coding tool for a huge number of developers.
SpaceX/xAI would instantly gain access to one of the most valuable datasets in AI: how millions of developers actually write, edit, debug, and ship code.
Two big updates that make Cursor the best place to work with agents: our first coding model, Composer, and a new interface for working with many agents in parallel.
Also included in this release: browser for Agent, voice mode, improved code review, and more!
Cursor just dropped "Origin," a GitHub competitor.
Cursor is moving way beyond "VS Code with AI." They just teased Origin, a Git-compatible forge whose landing page describes it as a tool built for "the agentic era," with code "moving faster than any infrastructure was built to handle." It's currently waitlist-only.
