Summary
Cursor released Composer 2.5 as a stronger model surface for long-running coding work, saying it improves sustained task execution, instruction following, and collaboration behavior over Composer 2. The launch also introduces explicit Standard and Fast pricing tiers and temporary double usage in the first week.
What changed
Cursor launched Composer 2.5 and published its new pricing and packaging as Standard and Fast tiers.
Why it matters
This is a concrete model-surface upgrade from a priority company, not a quiet backend swap. Cursor is competing on model behavior, workflow fit, and packaging at the core of the coding experience, which matters as vendors try to win default developer workflow share.
Evidence excerpt
Cursor says Composer 2.5 is now available, performs better on long-running tasks and complex instructions than Composer 2, and ships with separate Standard and Fast pricing tiers.
