@Victorspacheco_ Sorry to hear you're running into this. Do you mind following these instructions to report the bug so our team can look into it? cursor.com/help/troublesh…

@davep Hey David Help the team fix the macos app… I cant event commit and push changes without the app crashing 2 to 3 times It became unsustunable

When I was growing up, programming was an expression of creativity. Somewhere along the way, it became more about the chores. Merge conflicts. Flaky tests. CI failures. Bug triage. Let's give the chores to the robots and get back to building cool shit.

@jenny_wen @naoufal_elh @cursor_ai Welcome to the team!!

ok! quick updates from me: - i left anthropic (who does that?!) - had a baby (i love her) - and am joining @cursor_ai as head of design (eep!) it's been a low-key dream of mine to nurture a team that cares so deeply about craft, quality, and building great tools. very excited!

@danshipper The whole Pareto curve shifted last week

capitalism stays winning!

@stanxq Great to hear! Yeah, Composer is hard to beat for the price. We plan to keep developing Composer and Grok as two distinct classes of models.

@davep I think what really sets Cursor apart is the focus on bringing frontier model performance to developers at super affordable pricing. Composer 2.5 is still king of the hill for me. The intelligence is more than sufficient for basic and complex tasks. The pricing; that’s undefeated

Helluva week for new models. We got flagship versions of Grok, GPT, and Muse. Obviously I want Cursor to be a massive success. But I've been a software engineer a lot longer than I've been at Cursor. The whole profession wins with more serious players in the game. Competition is what keeps prices down. It’s what makes products great.

@morganlinton Yeah totally. This topic hit eng teams like a tidal wave over the last few months. New model is a good step but lots more we can do.

@davep Love seeing more people talk about Token ROI, this matters so much more than tokenmaxxing, which makes no sense to me 😜

Token ROI is the number one thing customers want to talk about right now. Agents have gotten so good and so pervasive we’re all flying past our budgets for this year. Our aim is to offer the best outcomes per dollar anywhere. Grok 4.5 is a big step toward that. More to come.

@MandleHu Try it out in the Cursor CLI or SDK. No IDE necessary.

@davep Love it. But is grok 4.5 xhigh fast available on grok code/grok terminal ? I don’t want a ide I want a agent fully connected to all aspects of my server I can login to from any of my devices

@filip_a__ Available in a different tab here: cursor.com/evals

@davep this shows the cost? do you have a pic for the output tokens?

I've learned that you all can eat a lot of pizza

RIP to the two pizza team. Jeff Bezos gave us an all-time great metaphor: keep the team small enough to feed with two pizzas. It shaped how engineering orgs got built for 20+ years. He was right about small teams. Still is. But in the AI era, two pizzas is too much pizza.

@SamHocking12 Love a one person team 💪

@davep I can eat two pizzas, do I count as a team? 🤔

@thenanyu It's a short-hand to remind us to build deeper connections with our colleagues. There are a lot of challenges to solve together. There's a lot we can learn from each other. No time for small talk.

@davep Why not talk about the weather. Is it because it’s the same every day in SF

I’m gonna get roasted for being a corporate robot for saying this, but I love Cursor’s company values: Just do the thing Delete the product Don’t talk about the weather They’re ambitious and weird and actually influence my work. Plus, I remember them without having to look them up. I can’t say that about any other company I’ve worked at.

@kr0der Hah. No disrespect intended :)

@davep what’d the weather do 💀

@heyderekj Perfect example.

@davep I love the "delete the product"! Not sure if it's true still at Apple but when I worked there (Retail) this was always talked about. Why the iPod touch was retired. The iPhone and other devices deleted it.

@mattlam_ No problem. I think it's very on-point for AI engineering products. We went from IDE tab complete to CLI to agent window to cloud agents in a very short period of time. And I'm sure we're not done.

@davep that's an interesting one, never heard of that but makes sense thanks

@fadeleusdev x.com/davep/status/2…

@davep What does “delete the product” mean exactly? Like remove any unnecessary features or unpopular features? Similar to how the arc browser team worked?

@mattlam_ It's a reminder that we're in an incredibly fast-moving space and that we should strive to make to make our own product obsolete

@davep what does "delete the product mean"?
