Notes on Cursor 2.0 and a pelican drawn by their brand new Composer-1 coding model, which they describe as "4x faster than similarly intelligent models" https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/29/cursor-composer/

@simon I would bet the Anthropic API bill played a large role in the decision to train both models...The bicycles are pretty good when compared to the previous Gen still! I notice a lack of spokes though 😁
