  • I love Cursor. I've tried Copilot/Claude/etc. but keep coming back to Cursor. I just want to work, and Cursor tab complete is dang accurate, esp. for refactoring tasks.

  • One thing no competitor is serious on is average response completion time. Cursor lapped everyone there

  • People on here love to be contrarian about Cursor, but I’ve tried all the popular alternatives (Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cline) and found Cursor’s overall experience to just be unmatched. A big part of that is its speed, another its reliability.

    It’s the only coding agent I’m actually really motivated to use out of the box because it really does make me feel more productive while the others keep messing up the project, from way too large changes I didn’t ask for all the way to constant syntax and request errors.

    It’s the only coding agent I’ve used that feels serious about being a product rather than a prototype. Their effort in improving their stack is totally paying off.

  • While I am excited to see a new model, I am skeptical when there is so much vagueness - charts with "frontier models" without actually spelling out which ones, charts with no numbers (time axis, or in one chart - entirely).

  • Maybe I'm an outlier but Sonnet 4.5 quality is about as low as I'm willing to go.

    It's generation speed is not the problem or the time sink.

    It's wrestling with it to get the right output.

    And just to clarify as maybe I misunderstood again but people are comparing cursor to Claude Code and codex etc here- isn't this whole article all cursor just using different models?

  • Hi everyone,

    I am an ML researcher at Cursor, and worked on this project. Would love to hear any feedback you may have on the model, and can answer question about the blog post.

  • Cursor has the best Tab model, and I feel like their lead there has kept growing - they're doing some really cool things there. https://cursor.com/blog/tab-rl

    I wonder how much the methods/systems/data transfer, if they can pull off the same with their agentic coding model that would be exciting.

  • The lack of transparency here is wild. They aggregate the scores of the models they test against, which obscures the performance. They only release results on their own internal benchmark that they won't release. They talk about RL training but they don't discuss anything else about how the model was trained, including if they did their own pre-training or fine-tuned an existing model. I'm skeptical of basically everything claimed here until either they share more details or someone is able to interpedently benchmark this.
