US EditionCursor Launches Composer 2 To Rival OpenAI, Anthropic
Composer 2 offers up to 86% lower costs and improved coding benchmarks, serving over 1 million daily users within Cursor's integrated AI coding platform.
- Anysphere, a San Francisco startup, released Composer on Thursday, its third-generation in-house coding model designed to automate complex, agentic software engineering tasks within the Cursor environment.
- Anysphere developed the model using self-summarization techniques to handle long-horizon coding workflows, addressing context-window limitations that hinder traditional agentic models.
- On Terminal-Bench 2.0, Composer scores 61.7%, outperforming Anthropic's Claude Opus at 58.0%, though OpenAI's GPT-5 leads at 75.1% on the industry-standard coding benchmark.
- Cursor is positioning Composer as cost-effective, starting at $0.50 per million input tokens—about 86% cheaper than its Previous Composer—while making a faster variant the default option.
- As OpenAI and Anthropic increasingly ship their own coding agents, Cursor must prove its integrated platform and team controls provide unique value to justify its position in the market.

technewstube.comCursor’s new coding model Composer 2 is here: It beats Claude Opus 4.6 but still trails GPT-5.4
Cursor, a San Francisco AI coding platform from startup Anysphere valued at $29.3 billion, has launched Composer 2, a new in-house coding model now available inside its agentic AI coding environment, and it offers drastically improved benchmarks from its prior in-house model.It's also launching and making Composer 2 Fast, a higher-priced but faster variant, the default experience for users.Here's the cost breakdown:Composer 2 Standard: $0.50/$2.…
Cursor's Composer 2 beats Opus 4.6 on coding benchmarks at a fraction of the price
Cursor on Thursday released Composer 2, the third generation of its in-house coding model. The model outperforms Anthropic’s Opus 4.6 on some key coding benchmarks, and does so at a fraction of the cost. The new Cursor model costs as little as $0.5 per million input tokens and $2.5 per million output tokens. There is also a fast mode, which will be the default option, but it costs 3x as much, at $1.5/$7.5 per million input/output tokens. This f…
Moonshot AI & Cursor: Lessons in AI Governance
What happens when a $29 billion company forgets to rename a model ID, and what it means for every organization using open-source AI.On March 19, 2025, Cursor, the AI-powered coding tool valued at $29 billion and generating an estimated $2 billion in annual recurring revenue, launched Composer 2, its newest and most powerful coding model. The announcement was bold: Cursor claimed Composer 2 was built through “continued pre-training of a base mode…
