OpenAI has agreed to buy Glass Imaging, a smartphone camera software company, for a reported $300 million. The startup was founded by two former Apple engineers who had led work on Portrait Mode. The deal appears aimed at strengthening OpenAI's imaging and hardware capabilities.
Superhuman has acquired Fathom, a Y Combinator-backed notetaking tool that records and summarizes meetings. Fathom's free tier helped it reach more than 400,000 monthly active users, and the company says over 1 million people have used it to record meetings. The deal reflects growing interest among productivity software makers in agentic features that handle work automatically.
OpenAI said it will stop supplying its models to Cursor, the AI coding tool, after Cursor was acquired by SpaceX. The company described the move as a decision to wind down the existing contract. No timeline or further details on the transition were provided.
WHY IT MATTERS ↘OpenAI's decision to cut off Cursor after its acquisition by SpaceX underscores the growing risk that model providers will restrict access when their customers are acquired by large, potentially competitive entities, forcing AI tool developers to diversify their model dependencies or face sudden disruption. This move could accelerate the trend of vertical integration in AI, where companies build or acquire their own models to avoid supply chain vulnerabilities, ultimately raising costs and reducing flexibility for practitioners relying on third-party APIs.
