Cursor 3 is here. Where power meets simplicity. Works across all your projects, local and cloud. It starts simple, then unfolds more tools when you need them - so you stay in flow and in control. Enjoy!

We recently launched Composer 2, a frontier model with high limits. Then, with cloud, we gave agents their own computers so they can work truly autonomously. And now with Cursor 3, we're releasing a new interface to collaborate with agents on software. https://cursor.com/...

I'm glad @cursor_ai took the risk snd went full yolo with Cursor 3, rather than naming it Cursor Glass and also supporting their VSCode based IDE. This would mean supporting two different visions. It's better to abandon the old habits. Congrats on the ship!

Cursor 3 is amazing. At Cursor, we do traffic light votes in slack for new features to measure internal PMF. Green is good, red is bad. Cursor 3 is basically all green, meaning our engineers prefer working out of it more than any other surface. Excited for everyone to try

We're introducing Cursor 3. It is simpler, more powerful, and built for a world where all code is written by agents, while keeping the depth of a development environment. [video]

I just tried out Cursor 3 and the new interface is much better. The old one had far too many buttons and toggles that got in the way of just talking to the agent. I think this should just be the default view? Why do I need to press cmd+shift+p to use it? [image]

A new way to orchestrate many agents in parallel between local and cloud, Cursor 3 is out now. All local and cloud agents appear in the sidebar, including the ones you kick off from mobile, web, desktop, Slack, GitHub, and Linear. Cloud agents produce demos and screenshots of
