Cursor launched the most significant release since 2.0: Cloud Agents with Computer Use. Autonomous coding agents now run in isolated VMs that build software, visually test it, record video demos, capture screenshots and logs, and ship merge-ready PRs. Over 30% of Cursor's own merged PRs are agent-generated. Run 10-20 parallel agents simultaneously from web, desktop, mobile, Slack, or GitHub. This leapfrogs competition by giving agents their own computers rather than just terminal access. What to do: If you use Cursor, test Cloud Agents on a multi-file feature today. The agent + VM + visual test loop is the highest-fidelity autonomous coding workflow available.

Anysphere shipped Cursor 3 (codenamed "Glass") on April 2, and it's not really an IDE anymore. It's an agent workspace. The redesign is fundamental. Developers enter natural language task descriptions, select an LLM, and Cursor generates code plus a demo video. Local and cloud...
Cursor shipped the biggest paradigm shift in AI coding this week. Automations are always-on agents that activate from external events — merged PRs, PagerDuty incidents, Slack messages, Linear issues, cron schedules, or custom webhooks. The agent spins up a cloud sandbox, follo...
Cursor's Plugin Marketplace (Feb 17-18) packages skills, subagents, MCP servers, hooks, and rules into single-install plugins with fine-grained network controls. Cursor Cloud Agents (Feb 24) run on isolated VMs that build, test, record video demos, and produce merge-ready PRs....
Bugbot now finds ~10% more bugs per review (0.62 vs 0.56) at ~22% lower cost per run. A new /review flow runs Bugbot and Security Review before push, dedups against the eventual PR, and supports incremental "only what's new" review. Cursor also added always-on Automations with...
