Cursor is an AI code editor that writes and edits code with large language models. Coverage follows its ownership under SpaceX, which AI models it can use, and studies comparing it with Claude Code and Codex.

SpaceX's Q3 revenue rose 161% to $14.6 billion, led by $7.56 billion from AI compute. SpaceX and Tesla have formed committees to weigh a merger.

A study of 16,893 coding-agent sessions found Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor pick the same third-party tool only 42% of the time. Stripe beat PayPal in every session where both qualified.

OpenAI is ending Cursor's direct model access on November 12, 2026, after SpaceX bought Cursor's parent Anysphere for about $60 billion on August 14.
