Two big updates that make Cursor the best place to work with agents: our first coding model, Composer, and a new interface for working with many agents in parallel.
Also included in this release: browser for Agent, voice mode, improved code review, and more!
We ve grown to a team of over 300 engineers, researchers, designers, and operators, with ambitious plans to expand our footprint. We ve also crossed $1B in annualized revenue, counting millions of developers and many of the world s most accomplished engineering organizations as our customers. And our in-house models now generate more code than almost any other LLMs in the world.
I love @Cursor. It's enabled me to build (vibe code) so many web apps, sites, extensions, and little things quickly that 1. bring me joy and 2. help me with work or realize personal projects. However... I'm seeing a TON of movement around @Claude by Anthropic's Claude Code. I haven't personally tried it but it's apparently insane (and can also be expensive?) I'm curious. Should I switch? What are you currently using? Or do they both have their own use case. I right now like cursor because I can build directly in a GitHub repo or locally and it helps me learn my way around an IDE. Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts!
Cursor 1.7 is here! Introducing autocomplete for agent, hooks, team rules, ability to share prompts with deeplinks, and more. Look forward to hearing what you think!
You can now work with Cursor Agents on web and mobile. Just like the familiar agent that works alongside you in the IDE, agents on web and mobile can write code, answer complex questions, and scaffold out your work.
Now with automated code review to catch and fix bugs in your PRs, memories to learn from your codebase, 1-click MCP installs, and Background Agent in GA. Plus, faster multi-location edits, richer chat interactions, new settings, and Jupyter notebook support.
Recently stumbled across this Cursor pro-tip from Ian Nuttall on X: "1. ask it to recommend a folder structure
2. ask it to actually create the folder/files based on that this makes it 10x easier for me to get started and Cursor is more accurate using codebase cos it knows where to update files."
That got me thinking, what other pro tips are people using to generate better code, ship faster, organise your space better, etc. Drop em below:
ICYMI: @levelsio shipped a flight simulator game last week. It's pretty fun, it's got some low poly / minecraft-esque graphics, pretty good physics, a turbo boost, and even PvP. The kicker is he built it, at least the version one anyway entirely by prompting @Cursor.
It got me thinking about a question that a ton of people have tried to answer in the past few years; What does the future look like for someone getting into development?
