关于SpaceX收购Cursor后我们的决定

今天，我们通知SpaceX，我们打算终止向Cursor提供OpenAI模型的合同，提议的关闭日期为2026年11月12日。为了最大限度地延长开发者通过Cursor访问我们模型的时间，我们给出了合同规定的最长通知期。这一决定非常艰难，因为我们深切关心我们的模型能够广泛提供给开发者。我们做出这一选择，是因为根据我们与埃隆·马斯克旗下公司违反合同的经验，我们无法确信SpaceX会按照我们的服务条款使用我们的技术。

要与像SpaceX这样的大型合作伙伴合作，我们通常依赖定制合同来确保遵守我们的服务条款，并确保集成在大规模情况下提供安全性。在马斯克收购Twitter（现为SpaceX的一部分）后，该公司违反⁠(在新窗口中打开)了我们的合同条款（以及其他许多条款）。今年早些时候，马斯克在宣誓下承认⁠(在新窗口中打开)xAI（现也为SpaceX的一部分）违反了OpenAI的服务条款（这些条款与xAI自身的条款类似）。

我们与Cursor的定制协议赋予我们在控制权变更后有限的时间窗口来取消合同。随着AI能力的进步，我们也有了新的责任水平，以确保我们即将推出的模型Astra按照我们的条款使用。鉴于所有这些，我们决定将合同取消推迟到我们能够做到的最晚日期，同时不再向Cursor提供未来的模型。

我们与Cursor合作了近四年，对他们的团队、产品以及他们为开发者社区所构建的一切怀有极大的敬意。我们知道，受此决定影响最大的人是依赖Cursor中OpenAI模型的开发者。我们关心他们在这一过渡中的体验，并准备竭尽全力支持他们。

Today, we notified SpaceX that we intend to wind down our contract providing OpenAI models to Cursor, with a proposed shutoff date of November 12, 2026. To maximize the time that developers can retain access to our models through Cursor, we are giving the maximum notice provided by our contract. This decision was incredibly tough, as we care deeply about our models being broadly available for developers. We are making this choice because we cannot be confident that SpaceX will use our technology within our terms of service, based on our experience with Elon Musk's companies violating contracts.

To work with a large partner like SpaceX, we typically rely on custom contracts to ensure compliance with our terms of service and that the integration provides for safety at scale. After Musk acquired Twitter, now part of SpaceX, the company broke⁠(opens in a new window) the terms of our contract (alongside many others). Under oath earlier this year, Musk admitted⁠(opens in a new window) that xAI, now also part of SpaceX, had violated OpenAI’s terms of service (terms which are similar to xAI’s own).

Our custom agreement with Cursor gives us a limited time window to cancel it after a change of control. As AI capabilities advance, we also have a new level of accountability to ensure our upcoming model, Astra, is being used in accordance with our terms. Given all of this, we’ve decided to hold the contract cancellation to the latest date we can while not providing future models to Cursor.

We’ve worked with Cursor for nearly four years and have enormous respect for their team, their product, and what they’ve built for the developer community. We know that the people most affected by this decision are the developers who rely on OpenAI models in Cursor. We care about their experience in this transition and we’re ready to go above and beyond to support them.
