Kingy AI Take
Anysphere released Cursor Composer 2.5, calling it a substantial improvement over Composer 2 for sustained long-running tasks, instruction following, and collaboration (cursor.com). Cursor users get a stronger default agent model for extended coding work. Because a vendor's own model most affects behavior inside its own tool, compare it in the actual Cursor workflow rather than on lab benchmarks, and price the speed tier you will use.
Who it is for
Cursor users who want a stronger default agent model for long-running coding tasks inside the Cursor workflow.
