Cursor releases Composer 2.5 coding agent model through Cursor CLI, scoring 63 in Fast mode on the Artificial Analysis index to rank third.

It gains on SWE-Bench-Pro-Hard-AA with lower costs and higher speed.

i wrote a guide on optimizing context usage 6 months ago that i never posted. back then with the models available, you could only pick 2 of 3: 1. intelligent 2. fast 3. cheap intelligent + fast = expensive fast + cheap = dumb cheap + intelligent = slow now, with composer 2.5, this is no longer true and the post is obsolete. looking at TPS, avg cost per task, and score from cursorbench, it's clearly capable of all three but benchmarks are just benchmarks. what matters is how it feels to use and if it can actually accomplish your tasks. from the feedback so far, that's very much the case go try it out if you haven't already

the xai cursor combo is creating the first real challenge to openai and anthropic doesn’t hurt that anthropic are essentially giving their direct competitors billions each day expect composer to become sota quite soon.
