frontier model
Whichever models are currently the most capable available. A moving target, and the reason a workshop from a year ago describes limits that no longer exist.
Where it comes up
Cursor 101
“and a lot of depth also across the entire software development life cycle. So, it's really great that you have access to all that. Now, another differentiator I think that you'll get out of the box with Cursor is that gives you access to al…”
Cursor Admin Guide
“exactly how they're working with their agents, how they're prompting their agents. again, you can you can toggle and and view in the admin settings. Seeing Noah providing links for admin analytics and in the API, which is great. Yeah, um th…”
Cursor for Product Managers
“you wanted to use Opus if you're a big fan of that, uh, we also have our own built-in model, Composer 1, which was it's a Frontier model that's built specifically for coding. Um, and we highly recommend. It's very intelligent and very, very…”
Cursor CLI
“you know our best practice sessions or our cursor workshop on model selection and token efficiency, which we run pretty pretty regularly. So, I definitely come back to cursor.com/workshops and see an upcoming session on that topic. We defin…”
Cursor 2.0 Launch
“the ability to kind of track its progress through these to-do lists. As part of 2.0, we've made the agent harness. So what actually wraps the model and integrates it inside of cursor. We've made this much better across every single model yo…”
Cursor for Professional Services
“functionality for me as well including uh the ability to select the cart uh navigate to the cart and add cart items. There we go. Notice also the speed at which we're generating this. This is using cursors composer one model which is our fr…”
PRD to PR
“I think most people will probably be using the composer 1.5 down to Codex 5.3 GPT 5.4, probably some Sonnets, Opus 4.6, and then maybe like a Gemini 3.1 Pro. And so there's this difference between like the frontier models which are I would…”
Cloud Agents
“it's much much cheaper than a lot of these frontier models at the same intelligence level. Um but if you want to kind of try out other models, um this is a great way to do it. I really like Codex 53. I think it's a really great model for ho…”
Cursor 201
“to not going to kill you with slides, but um you know, if you've if you've done a Cursor 101 in the past, you're looking for some more advanced workflows, cool. This is definitely the right place for you. Um you know, if you are looking to…”
Cursor for Java Developers
“so many of them coming out every two to three months cadence um it's a good way to learn cursor because cursor is a model neutral platform you'll be able to take advantage of um using the frontier models whether that's um opus set uh GP 5.3…”
Cursor for Knowledge Work
“Um, and the agent will go ahead and start analyzing the data, um analyzing and synthesizing, and returning the results I'm looking for. While it's thinking, um I did want to touch on that right now. I'm using Composer 2 fast model. Um, this…”
Cursor for Quality Assurance
“And in addition to this, cursor is model agnostic. So we give our customers access to all of the frontier models directly in our platform pretty much as soon as they're released. And we've also trained our own um models inhouse that are pur…”
Engineering Teams in the Agentic Era
“And then what this might look like. So this is just kind of like a diagram of how you might use Cursor to orchestrate a uh pretty complex like agent flow here where because Cursor is model agnostic you're using the best high-reasoning front…”
How Cursor uses Cursor
“I kind of looking at top frontier models side by side in terms of spend efficiency, um I think this is a good way to think about a models especially you can serve tokens and and trying to conserve costs, is that if you think about you know,…”
Model Selection & Token Efficiency
“into plan mode and take your time there. Make sure you really get it right. Use those uh really high highly capable frontier models, the Opuses, the GPTs, and then iterate on that plan. Obviously, we kind of just stepped through those examp…”
