## Post

OpenAI's proposed cutoff of its models inside Cursor was set for today. As of this morning, neither company has confirmed it happened.

Thousands of developers are waiting to find out which models their editor will run, and they don't get a vote. That's the risk when your tool's model access depends on a contract you aren't part of.

In Kilo you choose the model. Bring your own key, sign in with ChatGPT to keep GPT, or switch to another model in the picker when something changes.
