#2More expensive than Sonnet 4.5, but no comparison benchmarks. I think I’ll pass.

We've found it to be a strong mix of speed and intelligence. It scores higher than Sonnet 4.5 on Terminal-Bench 2, maybe we will post more on this later.

You should! This blog post doesn't really give any reason to use it besides "it's better on Cursor's internal benchmark". A full model card would be great.

Yeah, please do. Because when the AI labs you are competing with are posting extensive benchmarks and you just say "well we used our own internal benchmark" it is a bit sus, especially given the fact that the price has tripled.

The way benchmarks for Composer have been presented since v1 feels unusually cautious. To users, that reads as “the model isn’t very good”.

I had the same thought. Cursor 1.0 was cheap and blazingly fast. 1.5 seems to keep the speed, but who knows how much better it is, and it's no longer cheap.

#8I’m a big fan of Composer 1, because it’s just so freaking fast, but I do find the quality is a bit behind Opus 4.5, and maybe around Sonnet 4.5?
If 1.5 is close enough to Opus that I can daily drive it, that would be huge.

#9Was about to complain about the pricing (more expensive than newly released 5.3 Codex?) but then I noticed that Auto/Composer mode appears to be billed separately now -- so I can use $400 of API in _addition_ to Auto/Composer?
Am I right in thinking that's a separate allowance? That's pretty cool if so

In my experience, Composer is billed like the rest of the models, but Auto mode is billed separately. I recently hit the limit on my plan and was being billed for on demand usage, but using Auto kept it within the "included" allowance (i.e. "free").
I'm not sure how much free usage they give you with Auto mode.
