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. Cursor was one of the very first users of OpenAI, we’ve worked closely with their team for years, and we’ve trusted their platform to be neutral infrastructure for our business.

Most people building in Europe are technically excellent, but almost half a decade behind atm. Even the experienced engineers are embedded so deep in the old way of building that asking them to work agent-first feels like attacking their craft. "You want me to write in English instead of code?" "You want an agent to ship the feature?" They look at you like you're killing something sacred. Also, almost everyone there assumes the endgame is getting acquired by Google or selling to a bigger company. A couple of weeks ago, I was talking to an EU founder at an event, and he genuinely couldn't understand why we wouldn't want to be acquired. The mindset gap between SF and Europe is widening every month. Not a very pleasant thing to see.
