Scoop: Cursor staff had been using Anthropic's models internally through Cursor—until Anthropic cut off the startup's access this week. Here's what xAI cofounder Tony Wu sent to staff on Wednesday according to a copy of the internal Slack message I viewed: “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. This is a both bad and good news. We will get a hit on productivity, but it rly pushes us to develop our own coding product / models. We're at a time in which AI is now a critical technology for our own productivity. This coming year is rly going to be wildly exciting for all of us. The team is rapidly developing our own models / product. We will have something to share with everyone soon. In the meantime, you may still try all different kinds of models in grok build.” Anthropic declined to comment. A Cursor spokesperson directed me to Anthropic for comment. xAI did not respond to request for comment.

Theo read it aloud at 9:00 For example, when Windsurf was rumored to be acquired by OpenAI, Anthropic banned access to cloud models in Windsurf concerned that they would use it for distillation.
