Cursor 2.0 is here... 5 things you didn't know it can do
Fireship • October 30, 2025
Fireship walks through Cursor 2.0’s major upgrades—introducing the in-house Composer AI model with sub-second response times, a cleaned up agent-focused UI, git work trees for parallel agent workflows, and a built-in browser with Chrome DevTools support to streamline AI-assisted coding.
Key Takeaways:
- Cursor’s new Composer model claims frontier-level intelligence at much higher speeds than GPT5 or Claude, though external benchmarks are still pending.
- Git work trees integration lets you spin up separate local copies and run multiple coding agents (Composer, Claude, GPT5) in parallel without conflicts.
- The native browser with full Chrome DevTools support allows developers to select live HTML elements and feed them directly into chat sessions for precise UI fixes.
