Blog / researchMar 27, 2026·researchA technical report on Composer 2Sasha Rush · 3 min readTable of Contents↑Continued pretraining and RLReal-world evaluation with CursorBenchPerformanceInfrastructureWe posted to the arXiv a technical report on the training of Composer 2, our coding model for agentic software engineering. The report covers the full training process, from continued pretraining on an open base model, Kimi K2.5, through large-scale reinforcement learning, with a focus on closely emulating the real Cursor environment. #Continued pretraining and RL Composer 2 is trained in two phases: continued pretraining on a data mix that emphasizes code to deepen the base model's coding knowledge, followed by large-scale reinforcement learning to improve end-to-end agent performance. We find that reducing pretraining loss improves downstream RL performance, with better base knowledge reliably translating into a better agent. Composer 2 RL training occurs in realistic Cursor sessions with the same tools and harness the deployed model uses, applied to a problem distribution that reflects the full range of what developers ask Composer to do. We find that RL training improves both avera

Blog / companyAug 14, 2026·companyCursor is now a part of SpaceX2 min readCursor has officially been acquired by SpaceX. This completes the acquisition process that started in April, when we announced our partnership with SpaceXAI to accelerate our model training efforts. In the years since we started Cursor, better models have steadily expanded what people can build. Cursor has gone from completing the next few lines of code to building AI teammates that you can give real work to. Together with SpaceX, we will push that ambition further. We will have access to the largest fleet of GPUs in the world, giving us the compute to build stronger models that are also more economical to run. This means we can provide customers with more capable models at lower cost. Grok 4.6, which we released Wednesday, provides an early look at what we can now build together. SpaceX is building the computing capacity needed to scale intelligence far beyond what exists today. Cursor will be one place where that intelligence becomes useful. For us, that opens a much larger horizon than the one we started with, while keeping the work familiar. We still want to help people with ambitious ideas spend less tim

Grok 4.6 builds on Grok 4.5 with a particular focus on long-running agents and more ambitious interactive and visual work. It stays with complex tasks across many steps, whether researching a topic, analyzing information, working across a codebase, or turning an idea into a polished application or work artifact. Grok 4.6 achieves frontier intelligence across several agentic coding and knowledge work benchmarks. It matches GPT-5.6 Sol on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, which is a composite score of nine benchmarks. Grok 4.6 is available today in Cursor and Grok Build. We’re offering 2x included usage inside Cursor and Grok Build for the first week. #Training Grok 4.6 Grok 4.6 underwent a longer supplemental training run than Grok 4.5, with curated model-generated data for reasoning and advanced technical concepts, high-quality engineering data, and an improved optimizer and training recipe. This produced a stronger foundation

Sep 10, 2026 · ChangelogCursor Projects Today we're launching Projects in Cursor. Projects lets you take on larger bodies of work, such as a feature, a migration, or a full app. It maintains context over months of work, delegates tasks to thousands of subagents, and performs recurring work without being prompted. Access Projects from the left-hand nav. The coordinator agent in a project doesn't write code itself; it plans the work, delegates it to agents that implement it, and brings the finished work back to you to check. Coordinators create and manage agents on your behalf, running as many in parallel as the work needs. #Powered by Cloud Agents A Project runs on its own computer in the cloud, so closing your laptop doesn't stop it. When something needs testing on your machine, the coordinator spins up a local agent to run it there. #Shared context You shouldn't have to onboard an agent every time you start a task. Each Project maintains a set of files that sync across every cloud and local machine its agents use. Agents add research and artifacts, along with what they learn about the codebase and how you prefer work to be done. If one agent figures out how to test a service, for

Someone picks the strongest model they can find, sets it as the default, and every request after that runs at the top rate. The spend climbs faster than the quality of what ships. Model routing is the fix. Instead of sending every request to one model, a router looks at each request and picks the model that fits. Simple work goes to fast, cheap models. Hard, long-horizon work goes to the frontier models. Model routing is turning into a standard layer in how teams work with LLMs. The gap between the cheapest capable model and the most expensive one is huge, and most of what you do all day sits at the easy end.

Aren't they expensive?4. What metrics should I be tracking?5. Should I set spend budgets per engineer?6. How should I be reviewing my AI spend?7. How should I be coaching my team?By David Pan Toward the end of last year, agentic engineering finally started working. And once it worked, everything grew at once. More engineers picked up the tools. They started using them for more tasks. And each task got more expensive as a result of more thinking and tool calls. Those three things multiply, which is how so many engineering teams watched their AI spend go on a J curve. These teams will tell you the spend has been worth it. They are shipping faster and getting real value. But worth it or not, they're flying past their 2026 budgets, and nearly every customer we talk to now has some version of the same mandate: keep accelerating AND get disciplined about the cost. Easier said than done. Here's my take on some of the questions that come up most often. #1. Should I use cheaper models? Everyone

But it can't see your error tracker, database, tickets, or docs. Until those are connected, it stalls on anything that lives outside the editor. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that connects an agent to outside tools and data. Connect an MCP server and the agent queries the database instead of asking you for the schema. It opens the ticket instead of describing what the ticket should say. That access is what separates an agent your team leans on from one writing code in isolation, and it makes the coding agent MCP strategy one of the first things teams need to solve for. Th

Let’s call it prompt design, and build better tools for it.Arvid Lunnemark · 6 min readTable of Contents↑Priompt v0.1: a first attempt at a prompt design libraryCaveatsObligatory last noteI’m usually averse to the common habit of trying to find old-world analogues to new-world phenomena. So please bear with me as I commit that exact sin: let me present the case for why prompting should be called prompt design and be likened to web design. I view prompting as communicating with a time-constrained human. While LLM-specific techniques are certainly helpful (most notably chain-of-thought), I’ve found that one of the best ways to improve performance is to just have extremely clear and high-quality instructions, similarly to how clarity and conciseness helps real humans understand better too. Prompting-as-clear-communication makes prompting sound like writing. Most of the prompting I am doing, however, is parametric: I have a number of input variables, and need to dynamically adapt my prompt to those. Hence, prompting-as-clear-communication-with-dynamic-input feels like the most accurate characterization. What other

Blog / researchMay 14, 2024·researchEditing Files at 1000 Tokens per SecondAman Sanger · 9 min readTable of Contents↑Evaluating Prompted RewritesSpeed MeasurementsDiff ModelsTrainingSynthetic DataModel TrainingSpeculative editsFuture DirectionsFrontier models such as GPT-4o struggle on large edits, with problems of laziness, inaccuracy, and high-latency. This is a weakness visible in coding agents. Accurately editing hundreds of lines can take multiple model calls, at times trapping the agent in an infinite loop. Even small, isolated edits are plagued with bugs. Worst of all, existing models are slow at large edits, breaking the programmer out of flow. We've trained a specialized model on an important version of the full-file code edit task called fast apply. Difficult code edits can be broken down into two stages: planning, and applying. In Cursor, the planning phase takes the form of a chat interface with a powerful frontier model. Applying the change to the current file should be straightforward and instant.
