Coding Assistant - Cursor 2

 

Cursor 1.0

Cursor is an AI code editor that helps you write, review, and refactor software directly in the IDE. Version 1.0 introduced several headline tools: Bugbot for automatic pull-request reviews on GitHub, a Background Agent that could carry out longer tasks, early “Memories” to retain project context, one-click MCP setup, and Jupyter support. link

What Cursor 2 is

Cursor 2.0 adds a first-party coding model called Composer and a new interface designed for running many agents in parallel. Composer focuses on low-latency coding turns and is described as about four times faster than similarly capable models. The 2.0 interface centers your workflow around agents with easier code-review flows and a native in-editor browser tool for testing and iterating on changes. 

What’s upgraded from 1 to 2

• Built-in model: Cursor now ships its own Composer model optimized for software work and long context. This reduces round-trip time and improves multi-step tasks.

• Parallel agents: You can spin up multiple agents on separate git worktrees or remote machines and compare results to pick the best one.

• Review and testing: A consolidated multi-file review view and an embedded browser help you validate and iterate on agent changes inside the editor.
  Compared with Cursor 1.0’s emphasis on Bugbot, Memories, and Background Agent, the 2.0 release shifts the core IDE toward coordinated, parallel agent workflows and faster model feedback. 

Pricing today and whether Cursor 2 changed it

[2025] Cursor’s individual plans are listed as Hobby (free), Pro at $20 per month, Pro+ at $60 per month, and Ultra at $200 per month. These tiers mainly differ by usage limits and access to larger context windows and more model usage. link

Separately, Bugbot is a paid add-on for automated PR reviews. Documentation and press coverage place it at $40 per user per month for teams. This is distinct from the base Cursor editor plans. link

Cursor also clarified in a recent pricing update that Pro includes a monthly credit pool for frontier model usage. After the included credit is used, you can buy more usage at cost. This reframes what used to be described as rate limits. That change was a pricing model clarification rather than a Cursor 2 only change.
