Summary

Cursor has released two significant updates to enhance its platform for working with coding agents: the Composer model and a redesigned interface for managing multiple agents simultaneously. Composer, the new coding model, offers a 4x speed advantage over similar intelligent models, allowing for rapid iteration and reliable multi-step coding tasks, thanks to its training with codebase-wide semantic search. The updated interface prioritizes agent-centric workflows, enabling users to focus on desired outcomes while agents handle details, with the option to switch between the new layout and a classic IDE view. Cursor 2.0 supports parallel operation of multiple agents using git worktrees or remote machines, improving outputs by allowing several models to tackle the same problem and selecting the best result. The update also addresses bottlenecks in code review and testing, introducing features for easier change review and a native browser tool for iterative testing to ensure accurate final results. Cursor 2.0 is now available for download, with a detailed changelog provided for users to explore all its features.
