Announced September 2 with SpaceXAI as launch partner: Cursor keeps running the agent loop, inference and planning, while tool calls execute on customer machines. TheNextWeb makes the limitation explicit, that under the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act in force since January 17, 2025, Cursor remains an ICT third-party provider because it still runs inference, so contracts, audit rights, data handling and exit-strategy obligations apply regardless of where tools execute. Private preview, no pricing, no GA, no named customer beyond the launch partner.

The September 2 entry keeps codebase, build outputs and secrets on internal infrastructure while the agent handles tool calls locally. My Machines connects one laptop or VM; team pools are named queues that grow as requests arrive, shrink when workers disconnect, hibernate idl...
I don't care that Grok 4.5 ranks #4. I care that it resolves a SWE-Bench Pro task with an average of 15,954 output tokens where Opus 4.8 spends 67,020. That's a 4.2x efficiency gap, and it lands straight in my monthly bill. SpaceXAI launched Grok 4.5 on July 8, a roughly 1.5T-...
Cursor's marketplace bundles five plugin primitives — MCP servers, skills, subagents, hooks, and rules — into single-install packages. Launch partners: Figma, Linear, Stripe, AWS, Cloudflare, Vercel, Amplitude, Databricks, Snowflake, Hex. Private team marketplaces for enterpri...
Raj Nagulapalle's FetchSandbox MCP took 107 votes on August 23, wiring 70+ API sandboxes into Cursor or Claude Code via MCP config. The claim is narrower and more testable than most agent tooling: reproduce the real integration failure against a sandbox, apply the fix, re-run...
The IDE market is fragmenting, and this week drew the sharpest lines yet. Cursor 3 launched as a rebuilt agent-orchestration platform in Rust and TypeScript, replacing the VS Code fork with an Agents Window for dispatching and monitoring multiple AI coding agents. Anysphere hi...
Cursor just admitted that code editing isn't the main event anymore. Cursor 3 abandons its VS Code fork entirely. Not an extension. Not a theme. Gone. Rewritten from scratch in Rust and TypeScript as what Anysphere is calling an "agent orchestration platform." The default view...
