Cursor

AI-first code editor and coding agent product.

RELEASE13th May
Cursor launches cloud development environments with rollback and scoped secrets

Cursor added reusable cloud development environments for agents with multi-repo setup, rollback, and scoped secrets. The update moves cloud agents closer to laptop-style setups while keeping long-running work isolated and auditable.

Cursor adds always-on CI agents that open fix PRs

Cursor added always-on agents that monitor GitHub, investigate failing runs, and open fix PRs automatically. That moves coding agents beyond the editor and into CI recovery after commits land.

RELEASE1w ago
Cursor releases Team Kit with /verify-this, /loop-on-ci, and harness skills

Cursor's Team Kit packages internal skills like /verify-this, CLI and UI automation harnesses, PR cleanup, and /loop-on-ci, installable with /add-plugin cursor-team-kit. It turns several internal review and validation habits into reusable commands for agent-driven coding workflows.

Cursor SDK supports 11 integrations across Gmail, Chrome, CI, and multi-repo agents

Developers posted 11 early Cursor SDK integrations, including QA agents, Gmail-to-Chat handoffs, Chrome extensions, CI autofix, doc sync, and multi-repo orchestration. The demos show Cursor agents moving outside the IDE into existing team workflows with reusable cloud-agent patterns.

RELEASE2w ago
Cursor releases SDK for CI/CD, local or cloud agents, and starter apps

Cursor shipped a TypeScript SDK that exposes its runtime, harness, and models for CI/CD jobs, background automations, and embedded agents. The launch lets teams treat Cursor as programmable agent infrastructure, though it still depends on Cursor API access.

Cursor 3.2 adds /multitask async subagents, worktrees, and GPT-5.5

Cursor 3.2 added /multitask async subagents, improved worktrees, and multi-root workspaces, then paired the release with GPT-5.5 rollout at 72.8% on CursorBench. The update makes background agent orchestration a first-class IDE workflow instead of a blocking queue.

RELEASE4w ago
Cursor updates Cursor 3 with split agents and 87% fewer dropped frames

Cursor 3 adds split-agent panes, tighter cloud-agent controls, voice input fixes, and an 87% reduction in dropped frames during large edits. The update makes the IDE easier to use as a mixed local-cloud agent workspace, while keeping editor navigation and diff review intact.

RELEASE1mo ago
Cursor 3 launches agent workspace for local, SSH, and cloud sessions

Cursor 3 introduced a separate agent-first workspace that can run agents locally, in worktrees, over SSH, and in the cloud while keeping the editor available. The release gives teams a path to multi-agent orchestration without giving up the traditional IDE surface.

RELEASE1mo ago
Cursor adds Instant Grep: 13ms regex search across millions of files

Cursor shipped Instant Grep, a local regex index built from n-grams, inverted indexes, and Bloom filters that drops large-repo searches from seconds to milliseconds. Faster candidate retrieval shortens the coding-agent loop, especially when ripgrep-style scans become the bottleneck.

Cursor Composer 2 ranks #2 on Next.js evals, ahead of Opus and Gemini

Vercel's Next.js evals place Composer 2 second, ahead of Opus and Gemini despite the recent Kimi-base controversy. The result matters because it separates base-model branding from measured task performance on a real framework workflow.

NEWS1mo ago
Cursor reports Composer 2 is based on Kimi K2.5 after API model IDs surfaced

Cursor and Kimi said Composer 2 starts from Kimi K2.5, with continued pretraining and RL added on top after developers spotted Kimi model IDs in traffic. Teams should benchmark it as a productized open-base stack, not a from-scratch model.

RELEASE1mo ago
Cursor releases Composer 2 with $0.50/M input and 61.7 Terminal-Bench 2.0

Cursor shipped Composer 2 with gains on CursorBench, Terminal-Bench 2.0, and SWE-bench Multilingual, plus a fast tier and an early Glass interface alpha. It resets the price-performance baseline for coding agents and shows Cursor is now a model company as much as an IDE.

NEWS2mo ago
Cursor publishes CursorBench to compare coding models on intelligence and token efficiency

Cursor published its internal benchmarking approach and reported wider separation between coding models than SWE-bench-style leaderboards show. Use it as a reference for production routing decisions, but validate results against your own online traffic and task mix.
