The leading AI-native IDE — a VS Code fork rebuilt around deep codebase understanding. Composer mode makes coordinated multi-file edits that Copilot can't match; Background Agents work while you focus on other tasks. Reached $2B ARR and $29B valuation by early 2026. The reference tool for serious AI-assisted development despite $20/month pricing and a controversial mid-2025 billing change.

Cursor ships new in-house frontier coding model
Cursor's Composer 2 runs on a new proprietary model priced at $0.50–$1.50/M input tokens by speed tier. A meaningful strategic shift: building its own model layer rather than wrapping third-party APIs.
Cursor launches Composer 2, its own frontier coding model
Cursor shipped Composer 2, a code-focused model trained in-house that benchmarks above Claude Opus 4.6 on Terminal-Bench 2.0 and is priced at $0.50M input / $2.50M output — reducing the IDE's dependence on OpenAI and Anthropic for its core capabilities.
