Cursor AI: Composer 2.5 Trained to Handle Long-Running Tasks
Cursor has updated Composer 2.5, its coding agent for the IDE. It now handles long-running tasks better. The key change is a new training method called targeted feedback: instead of grading a result as a whole, the system flags mistakes at the specific moment they occur. The number of synthetic tasks used in training has grown 25-fold.
