Ok this might be weird but I've moved everyone in my 4 person team to our team plan and costs seem to have sky rocketed compared to the individual plans. Where before most people spent 20-100 USD, now the total bill is more like 1k USD. I haven't gone into the details but it feels like I'm being scammed.

Keep in mind I believe there is a larger buffer given to personal plans. If they have 50% extra with the personal plan you now only get 25%.

If these benches from their site hold up (they likely wont) Wouldn't this compress ai revenue like 15x quickly If they really have a 4.7 opus high equivalent at 1/16 the cost wouldn't this significantly effect all the current capex and planing Maybe they are getting elon to cover cost

The way I have read their benchmark results is that they trained a model to work insanely well in their coding workflow. It’s not a general purpose model.

One of the surprisingly hardest problems to solve is to get a model to use the tools you give it access to.

> compress ai revenue like 15x

that roughly just puts it on par with OpenAI and Anthropic subscriptions in terms of pricing per token

Earlier quoted context omitted.

They are still a vscode fork with no moat? Like they lost about 70% of users in half a year which goes to show how there is not even the tiniest of moat.

I feel like they've been targeting enterprise pretty hard. I know my company uses them, and the companies that hire us also use Cursor.

Cursor will definitely win the enterprise for coding. Enterprises aren't going to trust a TUI

Surprised this got pushed off the front page so quickly! It’s exciting to see what the Cursor team has been able to do with significantly fewer resources than the frontier labs. I do wish they weren’t joining xAI. Something tells me there will be a contingent of researchers that departs Cursor if that merger is consummated.

It set off the flamewar detector, a,k.a. the overheated discussion detector. We'll turn that off.

Why not? That makes no sense to me.

Thanks, dang! The blog post[1] might be a better source than the twitter thread. Also I regret my typo above (lab -> labs) but too late now!

Thanks! I had been just about to add that maybe the link wasn't the most informative. We've switched it now from https://twitter.com/cursor_ai/status/2056415413077233983.

As for the typo, s's are cheap and I've added one :)

The model is (like Composer 2) based on Kimi K2.5 and they claim SOTA performance for 1/10th of the cost. The tweet also mentions that they've started a new model from scratch on Colossus 2 (xAI/SpaceX Cluster). Really impressive how they've made this jump from being called the vscode fork with no moat just a couple of months ago.

This was the only way forward.
