Federico Cassano explains why Cursor built its own model for software engineering

Original Description

ederico Cassano explains the core insight behind Composer: a model's weights are like a storage drive with finite bits. Cursor doesn't care about coding broadly — they care about software engineering inside Cursor. By allocating every bit of capacity to that one task, Composer runs at a fraction of the cost of Opus and other frontier coding models. #shorts #cursor #aicoding
