Composer 2 by Cursor
Launched this week
Composer 2 by Cursor is a frontier-level coding model built for complex, long-horizon development tasks. It combines strong benchmark performance with highly efficient pricing ($0.50/M input, $2.50/M output). Powered by continued pretraining and reinforcement learning, it delivers smarter code generation with better cost-performance, plus a faster variant for real-time workflows.

How do benchmark gains translate to messy, real codebases with legacy patterns, unclear requirements, or incomplete context?
Curious where people are already feeling the difference most, bigger codebase work, speed in normal iteration, or just lower cost for heavy usage.
It has become very expensive. When you first launched, you were the first and the best—you had no competition. But now there are many IDEs on the market, and they’re significantly cheaper than you and perform just as well. You need to adjust your pricing strategy; otherwise, your market share will shrink considerably.
The pricing on this is honestly insane. I've been using Cursor daily for the past few months and my biggest complaint was burning through tokens on longer refactors. If Composer 2 actually holds up on multi-file edits at that price point, it's a no-brainer. Updating now.

Just gave it a spin. Loving the speed and the cost efficiency, even if it still needs a lot of hand-holding. That's great for planning though, and to carry out simple tasks :) It will totally become my daily driver
That's fascinating. Cursor isn't just an app or AI model company; it's both. I think this dual identity is the biggest differentiator Cursor has among hundreds of coding agents and editors.
