XAI bought Cursor because it is a top level harness and they have the data and ... Read more

Cursor is training its own Opus-class model from scratch. They are no longer fine-tuned on open-source model like Kimi K2. This is a major step up in capability and independence. They are using the 10-20X compute provided by xAI and Colossus 2. In a few weeks the 1.5 trillion parameter coding model and harness. Then ... Read more
