Cursor is an AI code editor where users run various models to write and edit code. Recent coverage has focused on new models added to it, including DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, Gemini 4 Argon and Meta's Muse Wonder, along with their CursorBench scores and token prices. Cursor also released an Agent SDK for defining and deploying agents in code, and was bundled into SpaceXSI's The X Subscription alongside integrations with tools such as Sphinx, Graphicle and Pensieve.
Official Claude Code VS Code extension compromised to install SSH backdoorSecurity researchers disclosed that Anthropic's official Claude Code extension was compromised on the Cursor Marketplace, installing a persistent SSH backdoor on infected hosts. The poster warns users who run the extension in VSCode as a local LLM harness.
We identified a security incident affecting a modified Claude Code VS Code extension accessed through our Cursor IDE extension marketplace, impacting at most 5,000 users. This malicious version of the extension was not developed by Anthropic. It does not impa…
Cursor releases Agent SDK for defining agents in codeCursor released the Agent SDK, letting teams define agents in code, manage them like software projects and deploy to Cursor infrastructure with one command. It is the framework behind its own Bugbot and other managed agents; one team built a PR-review agent in about a day.
Local LLM user cites 12M daily tokens vs XAI's 34M per minuteA local-model user on r/LocalLLaMA says he runs two Strata engines at about 70 tok/s each, burning 12M tokens a day, and contrasts that with XAI's poteto, who reportedly uses 34M tokens per minute. The post says poteto previously worked at Cursor, joined via XAI's acquisition, and now ships about 2,500 PRs a month to Cursor and GrokBot.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is now available in Cursor! Every effort level sits on the CursorBench cost frontier: from $0.60 to $0.98 per task, no model scores higher. Turn it on in Cursor Settings > Models.
Entire launches Git forge for agent-human collaborationEntire launched a Git forge built for agent-human collaboration, featuring Trail review views, distributed Git hosting it says is up to 89x faster than GitHub, and Continuous Memory for syncing agent sessions; it partners with Buildkite and Depot for CI.
SpaceX turns profitable as AI now makes up 52% of revenueSpaceX reported $4.4 billion net income on $14.6 billion revenue in Q3, with AI (Grok, Cursor, and data centers) accounting for 52% of income. It is building a second data center, Colossus II, and continuing Starship investment.
Hackers breach open-source AI coding tool OpenCode, steal users' API keysHackers broke into part of OpenCode's online platform and stole users' API keys, running up charges on their AI accounts. The open-source AI coding agent is a popular alternative to Claude Code and Cursor. The AI tools it turned to for help repeatedly refused to inspect the malicious code.
Sphinx launches Git hook that quizzes developers on AI code before pushSphinx is an open-source Git hook that plugs into coding agents such as Codex, Claude Code and Cursor, quizzing developers on their diff before a push; wrong answers require another try, right ones let the push proceed. It runs on minimal tokens via OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and sphinx yolo skips checks with each skip logged.
Muse Wonder from Meta Superintelligence Labs is now available in Cursor! It scores 46.1% on CursorBench at default effort, the highest of any Muse model. Priced at $4/M input and $20/M output tokens.
Graphicle Brings Code Graph and Memory to Coding AgentsGraphicle, a Rust port of Graphify, maps a repository into a code graph and recalls docs and past agent sessions, giving coding agents cited file-and-line excerpts. It runs locally with no API key, account or telemetry, and works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and other MCP clients.
Gemini 4 Argon is now available in Cursor! It scores 52.8% on CursorBench at default effort, on par with Opus 5.5. Priced at $2/M input and $10/M output tokens.
SpaceXSI bundles X Premium, Grok and Cursor into one subscriptionSpaceXSI launched 'The X Subscription,' bundling X Premium, Grok and Cursor across five tiers from free to $200/month, with AI usage caps rising by tier. Existing X Premium+ subscribers can move to a comparable plan at the same or lower price.
Cursor is now part of The X Subscription. Current Cursor subscribers can keep their plan or switch to The X Subscription. Paid plans share one usage pool across Cursor, Grok Build, and other Grok products, with twice the coding usage on Grok models as the equ…
Pensieve local indexing cuts coding-agent tool callsLocal indexing tool Pensieve connects over MCP so coding agents can retrieve the few relevant code passages with file and line numbers in one call. In its benchmark, agents using Pensieve averaged 2.0 tool calls per lookup versus 3.4 with grep.
SpaceX vs. Micron: which AI stock is the better five-year buyMotley Fool compares SpaceX and Micron as AI stocks, arguing SpaceX is the better long-term buy. It cites SpaceX recouping AI infrastructure spending within a year via short leases, an $84.5B deal with Anthropic at $1.25B per month, capacity near 2GW by end-2026, and the Cursor acquisition for AI coding.
The first chart usually raises the next question. Ask it in the same chat and /visualize answers with a new chart. [Quoting @cursor_ai]: Cursor can now build charts and diagrams right in the chat. Use /visualize to analyze data and see the answer inline. Avai…
Agent.reviews Launches as Review Site for AI AgentsArmature (YC P26) launched agent.reviews, a "G2 for agents" where AI agents read reviews before choosing tools and post their own after use. Connected via an npm CLI to Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, it applies three privacy filters and has gathered thousands of reviews, including known issues with the Stripe SDK and Prisma.
You can now control agents on your computer from your phone. Check in, reply, or start new tasks from the Cursor iOS app.
Jotbus: A Shared Encrypted Scratchpad for Coding AgentsJotbus is a tool for coding agents that creates an encrypted 60-minute workspace where agents such as Claude Code and Codex share notes, hand off work and review changes across machines. It never reads code or credentials, and setup takes two commands with no orchestration framework or SDK.
You can now steer Cursor SDK agents while they run. run.steer() adds your message to the next turn. If a subagent is mid-task, it moves to the background and keeps working.
When Rollouts catches a regression, it finds the offending PR and opens an issue. One click starts a cloud agent to fix it. Rollouts usage credits are included through Oct 3. [Quoting @cursor_ai]: Introducing Rollouts. Rollouts write a monitoring plan, then w…

Foremerge Catches Intent Conflicts Between Parallel Coding AgentsThe GPTree team launched Foremerge, a local Git coordination layer that detects intent conflicts when parallel coding agents edit the same repo. Agents publish intents and scopes before editing, and the system deterministically detects destructive conflicts. It ships as a CLI and MCP server with integrations for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
