Also to mention that Cursor might be fundraising $900m at $9b valuation. The funny thing is, that Cursor and Windsurf are not "forks" companies, the fork is just a vehicle of an experience—they’re actually model companies. What makes them better than Copilot is the UX, but more than anything else the way their own models provide fast and "magical" answer. From the ground up they bet on training their own models.

Thanks for the mention! Regarding nao, would love to get your feedback on the native SQL explorer experience! It's working great atm and we have so many ideas to improve it and I think you have too.

Yes the 9b was the basis on which I thought they were too expensive for anthropic to buy. Agree on model for magic experience but how strong a moat can this be?

Already, Cursor IDE is utilizing some of their homemade LLMs. Their CEO stated that when they shifted from generic LLMs to more tailored LLMs, such as those used for editing code, the performance increased dramatically.
