But yeah, thanks for the feedback, everyone! I’ll give it a shot from within Cursor’s terminal. Still not entirely clear to me what the value proposition is over Cursor itself, but I’ll see if I can uncover it!

This is already a bit weird; isn’t the whole sales pitch with Claude Code that we *don’t* need to use an IDE anymore? If I’m gonna write the prompt in Cursor, why don’t I just use Cursor’s agent mode?
But anyway, I press the shortcut and a new Cursor file opens:

Cursor’s composer-1 and codemax are both trained in an RL env containing Cursor & codex respectively. Model & product intertwined
Prime Intellect’s environment hub is like github for these environments

of all the programming LLMs out there I am actually happiest with Cursor's Composer-1. it is not the best code model, strictly, but it's about 10x faster and I generally only have LLMs working on things far from the edge of their abilities

I’ve used Cursor’s Composer—it’s legitimately good. Easily on par with Sonnet 4/4.5 and very fast. Makes me wonder if there’s any moat left for frontier model builders, and might explain why they’re trying to set $1.4T on fire.

Cursor’s Composer-1 thinks in Chinese
TIL that most people immediately think this means it’s a Chinese model
nah, every model has a massive amount of Chinese language in its training dataset
imo it just means they didn’t spend a lot of time forcing it to think in English

A related example is Cursor's composer; a diverging UI from the main Cursor experience (maybe to de-risk?). That team made a fatal error by not integrating multi file edit workflows into their core chat UI like Windsurf.
