Pros & Cons

Key Strengths
  • ~250 tokens/sec — Cursor claims ~4x faster than frontier models
  • Much cheaper per completed task on Cursor's own infra
  • Purpose-built for Cursor's agent harness (multi-file diffs, tool calls)
  • Ideal for running many parallel agents across git worktrees
Could be better
  • Benchmark claims are self-reported by Cursor, not independently verified
  • No public API — can't be used or tested outside Cursor
  • Visibly weaker than Sonnet 4.5 on genuinely hard reasoning (concurrency bugs, cross-service migrations)
