Cursor Frontier Model Tracker
Answer first
Cursor's model story has two layers: Composer 2.5 is available now, while Cursor says it is training a significantly larger model from scratch with SpaceXAI using 10x more total compute. The safe interpretation is roadmap and research momentum, not a shipped new model for production use.

How should a team use Cursor frontier model work?
- 1Use Composer 2.5 facts when choosing a model today.
- 2Use the larger-model announcement as roadmap context for Cursor's long-term differentiation.
- 3Track whether new model availability changes pricing, latency, review quality or agent reliability.
- 4Re-check official model docs before quoting pricing or benchmark claims.

What should stay bounded?
Do not say the new from-scratch model is generally available unless Cursor publishes that.
Do not mix Composer 2.5 pricing with a future model's pricing.
Separate benchmark claims from real repo review outcomes.
Frequently asked questions
Who is Cursor Frontier Model Tracker for?
Developers, AI engineers and product teams tracking Cursor model capability and availability.
What makes this page credible?
The tracker anchors current availability to Composer 2.5 and treats the larger model as training work until Cursor publishes launch details.
What should I do next?
Start with one real repo task, capture the prompt and review the result before scaling the workflow.
