We're sorry to see that OpenAI put out a note saying they plan to block Cursor users from accessing OpenAI models in three months. OpenAI models serve about 5% of Cursor user traffic, and we're speaking with the OpenAI team to resolve this.

We care about their experience in this transition and we're ready to go above and beyond to support them. — OpenAI/Twitter — 28-08-2026
