frontier
The current leading edge of model capability. Used as shorthand — "frontier performance", "near frontier" — for whatever the best models can do right now, which is a line that keeps moving.
Where it comes up
Cursor 101
“little bit here. So, these are the top frontier [clears throat] models right now in the landscape and um Cursor, let's see. You have access Yeah, okay. So, GPT-5.3 Codex. So, that's a coding specific model. It's sitting right there at the t…”

Cursor Automations
“is one of the latest models that's dropped by cursor. Um it's extremely efficient. It's the intelligence model of near frontier uh lab, but it's a tenth of the cost. So, highly recommend everyone to go try it out. So, that's one strong feat…”
Cursor for Java Developers
“is actually the highest compared to all of our group ones here GPD 5.4 and also CLA 4.6 six opus. The next group of model selection are fast and synchronous works. These are like the executors. They're like the implementers. They're near fr…”
Cursor for Knowledge Work
“Awesome. So, this is our Cursor for knowledge work workshop, where we'll be doing a high-level introduction to Cursor, going through a demo of some top use cases we recommend for you folks to try out, and then George will be talking about h…”
Cursor for Sales Engineers
“topic. Um, and there are there are a few things that I like to think of when I am uh selecting the specific model that I'm going to use. So, actually I'll I'll pop open the agent mode just so we can kind of see it isolated. Um, typically I'…”
PRD to PR
“But with slightly less performance there. So, you can kind of see it curving to the left which which generally makes sense. And then there's also this kind of idea of model selection which is the your daily drivers. So, ones that are still…”
