Cursor releases Composer 2.5 as its most powerful model with gains in intelligence and reliability

0

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.

Very 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!

Composer 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.

Our new model is out. It stacks up nicely against the frontier!

yeah that's pretty good

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

We just trained another really really good model, please try it! Frontier intelligence + very fast

New 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!

composer 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!!

We've gotten really really good at RL. Composer 2.5 is fighting well-above its weight class.

Very excited for the next release as we scale model sizes and FLOPs with @SpaceXAI!
