I had a great time building a @cursor_ai SDK provider for @opencode 2. If you got to use Cursor for free this past month, this is for you! Same harness I already live in, now with Cursor’s models under /models.

If you want to see an example on how having the very best AI model and harness doesn’t result in better/faster execution - in fact it slows you; It took the Claude Code team 16 months LONGER (!!) to add support for AGENTS.md than OpenCode & Codex, 12 more vs Cursor Quoting @trq212 We're adding support for AGENTS.md to Claude Code. Starting today in version 2.1.277, if there is no CLAUDE.md in a folder, Claude will check for and use AGENTS.md. You can toggle this behavior in /config. Anthropic Related

ok everyone, i took one for the team here's the data we all wanted to see - real token value of each LLM subscription, empirically measured through usage on my real subscriptions - supergrok heavy has now become the highest value at $12k worth of tokens (40x ROI) - the $200 plan from openai and anthropic roughly give the same amount of token value, $7k give or take - cursor ultra's ROI is the lowest among mainstream subscriptions, roughly half of OAI or Ant. for individual consumers i'm afraid this no longer makes sense to purchase this was done in a clean environment. i ran each provider acr… LLMs Anthropic Related

I asked Grok Bot product lead @romanugarte_ why they built a new stand-alone app vs. building it into Cursor "It was not obvious at all. We saw what some of our competitors doing this, adding new tabs for each new form factor. People can feel that this was not a single, consistent vision of the way that work should work. It's kind of a shipping your org chart style thing that users are reacting negatively to. And so we decided, let's just start completely from scratch."

From the outside, Cursor shouldn't have worked. They compete against the most well-funded and fastest-growing companies of all time, and *sit on top* of those same competitors to power their product. WAT. I asked @romanugarte_ (employee #15 at @cursor_ai) how Cursor pulled it off. Roman's answer: They didn't focus on moats.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
