Anthropic already banned xAI for very similar ToS violations earlier this year: https://x.com/kyliebytes/status/2009686466746822731?s=46 So this is OpenAI following suit after Musk admitted to distilling their models.

Your link doesn't suggest a violation of TOS, but rather a policy shift disallowing their major competitors to use their model for any use.

That thread you linked suggested they were using it with cursor as part of their development process, not for distilling.

>"Hi team, I believe many of you have already discovered that anthropic models are not responding on cursor. According to cursor this is a new policy anthropic is enforcing for all its major competitors."

Days until cursor announces open models… 3, 2, 1… Seriously though, when the api providers start blacklisting cursor and they’re forced to swap to open weight models… If that happens, what even is the difference between openrouter and cursor?

You assume OpenAI doesn’t turn off access to OpenRouter too.

Strategically, OpenAI long-term will want to own the direct relationship with all their customers. As will most major AI labs.

> if that datacenter deal they signed with Musk changes anything

It's hard to imagine a 1B / month deal wouldn't.

I guess I’m on the right track. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49428835 If Claude pulls away from Cursor as well then Cursor is basically done.

Grok? Google?

I'm not a fan of Elon, nor do I use Cursor, but OpenAI and Anthropic aren't the only models.

While this isn't great for users it seems like a pretty standard circling of the wagons in preparation for the next phase in the battle for frontier AI dominance. Ironically, as a Cursor and Claude subscriber, but not an OpenAI subscriber, this will push me back to Anthropic. I don't feel good about giving OpenAI money directly, but I've found switching to GPT 5.6 Sol now and again in Cursor to be useful. Now I'll pr…

I think they are betting that Astra will be impossible to ignore.

I'd need to have a problem I couldn't solve with current models for my eyes to wander.

>Musk admitted to distilling their models.

what's the moat for AI labs like OpenAI and Antrhopic as they seek trillion IPOs. a lot of people said Chinese models also distill US LLM models. if it is this easy to do. how do US AI labs justify asking for trillion?
