OpenAI to cut off AI models for SpaceX-owned Cursor, escalating feud with Musk


OpenAI to cut off AI models for SpaceX-owned Cursor, escalating feud with Musk <br> OpenAI said on Friday &zwnj;that it plans to stop providing AI models to Cursor, the coding-tool company now owned by Elon Musk&#39;s SpaceX, marking a further escalation in the bitter rivalry between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Musk. Musk and Altman have been at odds for years, ​a feud that culminated earlier this year in a trial over Musk&#39;s $150 billion lawsuit against OpenAI. ​During the&nbsp;trial, Musk&#39;s lawyer said that Musk and other witnesses had testified that Altman ⁠was a liar, while OpenAI argued that Musk had sought control of the company. &quot;We are making this choice ​because we cannot be confident that SpaceX will use our technology within our terms of service, based on our ​experience with Elon Musk&#39;s companies violating contracts,&quot; OpenAI said in a blog post. Musk responded early on Saturday in an X post, writing, &quot;I couldn&#39;t care less.&quot; He accused Altman and OpenAI President Greg Brockman of being &quot;untrustworthy,&quot; while repeating his assertion that they &quot;stole an open ​source nonprofit.&quot; Musk, the world&#39;s richest person, had sued OpenAI and Altman for &quot;stealing a charity&quot; by betraying the company&#39;s ​original nonprofit mission for their own enrichment. A federal jury ruled against Musk earlier this year, finding that he had filed &zwnj;the ⁠case too late. However, Michael Truell, a co-founder of Cursor and now an executive at SpaceX, said on X that the company was speaking with the OpenAI team to resolve this issue.

In its blog post, OpenAI said that X, formerly known as Twitter and now part of SpaceX, had breached the terms of its contract with OpenAI ​after Musk acquired the platform. &quot;To work with a large partner like SpaceX, we ​typically rely on ⁠custom contracts to ensure compliance with our terms of service and that the integration provides for safety at scale,&quot; the AI company added. The ChatGPT-maker said it proposed a shutoff date of November 12, 2026, adding that its agreement ⁠with Cursor ​gave it a limited time window to cancel the contract following &quot;a ​change of control.&quot; SpaceX&nbsp;(SPCX.O), opens new tab&nbsp;announced&nbsp;a deal to buy Anysphere, the startup behind Cursor, for $60 billion in an all-stock deal in June, and completed the ​acquisition earlier this month. <br> <img src="https://tribune.com.pk/story/2626418/openai-to-cut-off-ai-models-for-spacex-owned-cursor-escalating-feud-with-musk" alt=" OpenAI to cut off AI models for SpaceX-owned Cursor, escalating feud with Musk" width="100%">

Apple launches new 13-inch, 15-inch MacBook Air with M3 chip Apple has unveiled its next-generation M3 MacBook Air range, in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes. With the M3 chip, the devices will have faster CPU and GPU performance, an upgraded Neural Engine, and up to 2x faster Wi-Fi, along with the ability to connect to two external displays at the same time. Available for order, the new MacBook Air range will be shipped from March 8. The ability to connect to two external displays had been a much-awaited feature in laptops. The feature comes with a small catch, not allowing MacBook Air desktop to be connected to external displays without the laptop lid being closed. If lid is open, only one external display will work like the previous M1 and M2 models. Being called the “world’s best consumer laptop for AI”, M3 MacBook Air features a faster 8-core CPU combined with up to 10-core GPU. With a faster 16-core Neural Engine, and upgraded Wi-Fi 6E, the device will allow for maximum theoretical do...

FICO to include 'Buy Now, Pay Later' data in US consumer credit scores

FICO to include 'Buy Now, Pay Later' data in US consumer credit scores Starting later this year, Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) loans will be included in Americans' credit scores, giving lenders a clearer view of repayment behaviour. FICO has announced that its new models, FICO Score 10 and FICO Score 10 T, will incorporate BNPL data, marking the first time major credit scores reflect this growing payment method. BNPL loans let consumers split purchases into smaller payments, often for items like clothes, flights, or groceries. Until now, BNPL activity has been excluded from credit reports, leaving a gap in how lenders assess creditworthiness. FICO's decision aims to offer a more complete picture of an individual's financial behaviour. For younger consumers or those with limited credit histories, BNPL could help build credit. New York Times reported that BNPL could serve as a "credit-builder" if used responsibly. “FICO plans to launch a suite of credit scores...

Scientists expect PakSat MM-1 services from August The newly-lunched Pakistani satellite, PakSat MM-1, would be positioned in a geostationary orbit 36,000 kilometres above Earth and it would start delivery of services in August, scientists associated with the MM-1 project said on Sunday. PakSat MM-1, Pakistan’s second communication satellite, was launched into the orbit on Thursday from China's Xichang Satellite Launch Center (XSLC). Dr Khurram Khurshid, Head Electrical Engineering Department at the Institute of Space Technology (IST), said it would provide communication services. “The satellite will provide communication services like broadband internet, TV broadcasting, media and telecommunication. It … will play an important role in promoting economic activities besides e-commerce and e-governance,” Dr Khurshid said. The satellite launched by the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) with the support of China under the National Space Programme-2047,...
