Composer 2 by Cursor
Launching today
Composer 2 by Cursor is a frontier-level coding model built for complex, long-horizon development tasks. It combines strong benchmark performance with highly efficient pricing ($0.50/M input, $2.50/M output). Powered by continued pretraining and reinforcement learning, it delivers smarter code generation with better cost-performance, plus a faster variant for real-time workflows.

Composer 2 by @Cursor is a frontier-level coding model designed to solve complex, long-horizon programming tasks with high efficiency and strong benchmark performance.
It tackles the problem of limited coding accuracy and high costs in AI dev tools by combining improved intelligence with optimized pricing.
What makes it different is its continued pretraining + reinforcement learning on multi-step coding tasks, enabling it to handle hundreds of actions with better results across benchmarks like Terminal-Bench and SWE-bench Multilingual.
Key highlights:
Strong coding performance (61.7 on Terminal-Bench 2.0)
More cost-efficient ($0.50/M input, $2.50/M output)
Fast variant with same intelligence but quicker responses
Built for real-world, long-horizon dev workflows
Great for developers, teams, and builders working on complex codebases, automation, and AI-assisted programming. If you're building with AI, this is worth checking out!
P.S. Here's an interesting comparison between Composer 2 vs Opus 4.6 vs GPT 5.4 (unscientific). Composer 2 is 10× cheaper than Opus 4.6 and supposed to rival it.

While Windsurf confuses their pricing model, Cursor keeps trucking with their own tech. Inspiring stuff.
@chrismessina Thanks for sharing the forum thread, Chris. I didn't know Windsurf was in a soup.
