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?
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.
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.
I think competition in the space is a good thing, but I'm very skeptical their model will outperform Claude.
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 messi…
Countless times my requests in the AI chat just hang there for 30+ seconds more until I can retry them.
When I decided to give Claude Code a try (I thought I didn't need it because I used Claude in Cursor) I couldn't believe how faster it was, and literally 100% reliable.
EDIT: given today's release, decided to give it a go. The Composer1 model _is_ fast, but right at the second new agent I started I got this:

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.
I wonder if this custom model is trained on cursor users. There’s a lot of potential on how much better a custom model could be the closer it is integrated with the product. Having the model learn to adapt to different user preferences would make it stand out compared to memoryless frontier models.
The fact that you are wondering this is bad. You definitely should know this. _ALL_ the online ai providers are training on your data. They have more expensive enterprise plans if want to opt out.
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.
