Cursor 2.0 adds coding model, UI for parallel agents

"Anysphere has introduced Cursor 2.0, an update to the AI coding assistant that features the tool's first coding model, called Composer, and an interface for working with many agents in parallel. Both Cursor 2.0 and Composer were introduced October 29 by the Cursor team at Anysphere. Cursor is a fork of Microsoft's popular Visual Studio Code editor, downloadable at cursor.com for Windows, MacOS, and Linux."

"A mixture-of-experts language model that supports long-context generation and understanding, Composer is specialized for software engineering through reinforcement learning in a diverse range of development environments, the Cursor team said. The model was trained with a set of tools including codebase-wide semantic search, which makes it better at understanding and working in large code bases, they added."

Cursor 2.0 adds an interface for working with many agents in parallel and includes Composer, the tool's first coding model. Cursor is a fork of Microsoft's Visual Studio Code and is available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Composer is a frontier, mixture-of-experts language model specialized for software engineering through reinforcement learning in diverse development environments. Composer supports long-context generation and understanding, and completes most agentic coding turns in fewer than 30 seconds in benchmarks, reportedly four times faster than similarly capable agent models. The model was trained with tools including codebase-wide semantic search to improve handling of large code bases.
