CURSOR 🔥: A newly released Composer 2.5 performs on par with Opus 4.7 and comes with up to 10x better cost efficiency.

> It's more intelligent, better at sustained work on long-running tasks, and more reliable at following complex instructions.

> Together with SpaceXAI, we're training a significantly larger model from scratch, using 10x more total compute. With Colossus 2's million H100-equivalents and our combined data and training techniques, we expect this to be a major leap in model capability.

Usage limits will be doubled for Composer 2.5 over the next week.
