Cursor releases Composer 2.5 as its most powerful model with gains in intelligence and reliability
Cursor announced Composer 2.5 as its most powerful model to date. The update improves intelligence, sustained performance on long-running tasks, and reliability with complex instructions. Cursor doubles included usage allowances for the next week. The model builds on the Kimi base with 85 percent of total compute devoted to additional training and reinforcement learning. It was partially trained on Colossus 2 and begins joint work with SpaceXAI on a larger model using 10 times more compute and Colossus 2's million H100-equivalent capacity. Benchmarks include Terminal-Bench, SWE-Bench Multilingual, and CursorBench.
#23Sasha Rush@SRUSH_NLPBeen working on text feedback / OPSD in Composer. Really interesting space, and a much more to be explored.
@eliebakouch Unfortunately can’t give a precise answer. Both were scaled significantly.
elie@eliebakouch@srush_nlp really cool work congrats to the team. if you can answer, do you have rough estimate on how the compute was allocated between RL and continual pt in composer 2 -> 2.5?

#68clem 🤗@CLEMENTDELANGUEVery cool to see Cursor doubling down on training great models. In my opinion, ultimately all serious companies in AI will want to train models themselves, based on open-source instead of outsourcing AI to others via APIs!

Congrats to @cursor_ai team on the 2.5 launch 🚀

#506Michael Truell@MNTRUELLComposer 2.5 is a significant step up from Composer 2.
This is the very start of our work with SpaceXAI. Hope to have more improvements out soon.

#716elie@ELIEBAKOUCHcursor is at frontier scale, both in terms of performance and compute
if composer 2.5's budget was put into a pre-train: ~6.3T total, 200B active trained on ~56T tokens
if composer 3 allocates 50% of the budget to pre-training: ~500B active, 15.3T total trained on 135T tokens.
assumptions are a lower bound: 35% MFU, FP8, ~3-4% sparsity like K2, H100 efficiency. model/token allocation is the mean between K2+K2.5 data point and Inclusion AI compute optimal rules for MoE
really impressed by the progression between composer 2 and composer 2.5

i meant pre/mid/continual training here (whatever is not RL), and also put 10% estimation in the attached picture

xAI might be able to cook with Cursor data + 10T model

#1245Alex Volkov@ALTRYNENew Composer from Cursor team! Great to see their ack. to the Kimi base + how much they moved the model forward!
This isn't the one they are training on XAI Colossus, that one is coming and would likely slap hard!

#1284Kevin Frans@KVFRANSWe used a pretty cool "RL with text feedback" formulation to train this one (see blog post for some details). As RL tasks get longer in horizon, I think it's a ripe time to think about ways we can extract signals that avoid the variance explosion.

#1318Sam Whitmore@SJWHITMOREcomposer 2.5 is really really great. I had it on last week for some testing, forgot that it was on, & totally didn’t realize I wasn’t on gpt 5.5 (my usual) for a while. the team did a fantastic job!!
