Summary
Cursor released Composer 2.5, describing it as a substantial upgrade over Composer 2 for long-running work, instruction following, and collaborative behavior. The launch also introduced explicit Standard and Fast pricing tiers and double usage during the first week.
What changed
Cursor launched Composer 2.5 and published pricing and positioning details for the new model tier.
Why it matters
This is a priority-company signal and a concrete model-surface update in the coding-tools market. It matters because Cursor is not just swapping models quietly; it is using performance, behavior, and packaging changes to keep pressure on other coding-agent vendors competing for 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 plus double usage in the first week.
