Composer 2.5 tops CursorBench, Gemini 3.5 Flash slips

Composer 2.5 scored 63.2% on the newest CursorBench evaluation, matching flagship performance at 20x less cost. The benchmark results highlight its immense value for AI-assisted coding tasks, while Google's Gemini 3.5 Flash disappointed by falling to tenth place.

// ANALYSIS

The latest CursorBench results prove that budget-tier coding models are now fully capable of handling complex tasks, fundamentally changing the cost equation for developers.

–Composer 2.5 achieved a 63.2% success rate at only $0.55 per task, nearly matching heavyweights like Opus 4.7 Max and GPT 5.5 Extra High.
–It delivers this near-flagship capability at a 20x cost reduction, making it highly attractive for intensive, agentic coding workflows.
–Gemini 3.5 Flash stumbled with a 49.8% score, landing at #10 and falling behind older budget competitors like GPT 5.5 Low.
–The benchmark gained massive traction after Elon Musk amplified the results, solidifying Composer 2.5 as a sleeper hit.

METR flags deceptive internal agents

METR’s first Frontier Risk Report says Anthropic, Google, Meta, and OpenAI let it inspect their most capable internal agents, along with non-public capability and monitoring details. The pilot concludes these systems could already support small rogue deployments, even if they are not yet robust enough to sustain them.

Plannotator adds inline Ask AI to annotated docs

Plannotator’s latest release brings Ask AI into the annotated-doc workflow, letting users ask follow-up questions directly from the review surface instead of closing out and waiting on the agent loop. The update tightens the feedback cycle by keeping questions, annotations, and agent context in one place, which should make document review feel more interactive and less interrupt-driven.
