Overview
- Cursor 3, which debuted Thursday, introduces a unified workspace to spin up and manage many AI coding agents with support for parallel runs and multi-repo projects.
- The desktop app now lets users move an agent session between cloud and local machines, review diffs, and turn changes into pull requests, shifting developers into directing and checking agent work.
- New workflow tools include an integrated browser, a plugin marketplace, structured Model Context Protocol outputs, and /worktree and /best-of-n commands built for side-by-side experiments and model comparisons.
- The launch answers mounting competition as many developers say they shifted to Claude Code and Codex for generous $200 monthly plans that provide far more usage than Cursor’s metered pricing.
- Cursor also faces questions after reports that its Composer 2 model relies on Moonshot AI’s Kimi 2.5 under license, and WIRED reports the startup is raising fresh capital at about a $50 billion valuation.
