Cursor Composer 2.5 hits 79.8% on SWE-Bench

Cursor releases Composer 2.5, its most powerful AI coding model to date. Built on Moonshot’s Kimi K2.5 and trained on 25x more synthetic data, the model matches frontier performance from GPT-5.5 and Claude 4.7 at a significantly lower price point.

// ANALYSIS

Cursor is proving that specialized post-training and massive synthetic data scaling can create a top-tier coding agent without the overhead of a general-purpose frontier model. New targeted RL with textual feedback allows for localized corrections of agent behaviors, while aggressive pricing at $0.50/$2.50 per million tokens puts pressure on competitors. The 79.8% SWE-Bench performance validates Cursor's synthetic training methodology, and the announcement hints at a future model being trained on the SpaceX-backed Colossus 2 cluster.
