Plan change

The X Subscription replaces separate Grok, Cursor and X Premium plans

SpaceXSI introduced The X Subscription, one plan covering Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium with a weekly shared pool of Grok model usage. On Premium and above, third-party models in Cursor are billed separately at API list prices. Current Cursor plans keep included third-party usage until the user switches.

Action needed:
If you rely on third-party models in Cursor, check the cost before switching plans and set a spending cap.

OpenAI plans to end Cursor's access to its models on November 12, 2026

After SpaceX's acquisition of Cursor, OpenAI announced it is winding down its contract supplying models to Cursor with a proposed November 12 cutoff. Cursor's CEO said OpenAI models serve about 5% of Cursor traffic. Cursor's model docs list no GPT-6 models. The Hacker News thread drew 852 points and 544 comments.

Takes effect Nov 12, 2026 · in 11 days

Action needed:
Move Cursor workflows off OpenAI models before November 12, 2026, or use Codex or another tool for them.

Lior GrossmanShipping software since 1993, now building with AI
Cursor is my editor. I work in it all day, but these days I mostly run Claude Code and Codex inside it as extensions rather than using Cursor's own agent. When I moved to it in 2024 with Claude 3.5 Sonnet, the jump was big enough that I recommended it to everyone. Nowadays, when most of my work is done via AI agents, I don't find it as useful anymore. Also, it tends to push you towards using Cursor's AI chat and latest features, which I don't love. In the age where you can use Claude Code, Codex, or a control plane like T3 Code directly, I'm not sure Cursor is well positioned.

Short excerpts from public posts, each linked to the original.

"It feels horrible I run through 50% of a weeks usage in 4 hours in one day doing tasks that by my previous guesstimate would’ve been ~14% for the month"

"I'm using the $8 plan for the autocomplete - I don't use Grok at all. It seems you still get unlimited tab completions on the Plus plan, so it's a pretty good deal IMO."
