Cursor said Composer 2 is generally available and is "frontier-level at coding" and outperforms models from OpenAI and Anthropic.

Key points:

  • Composer 2 is 10x cheaper than Opus 4.6 and 5x cheaper than GPT-5.4.
  • Cursor decided to build its own coding models and built Composer 2 in 9 months.
  • Cursor will keep model neutrality and 80% of users leverage at least two model families. Composer is No. 2 most popular model on Cursor and it's likely Composer 2's price and performance will be at least equally as popular.
