We plan to eventually have another model at that weight class, but right now trying to train the best possible model.

Probably can't advance frontier math yet, yeah. But please let us know other places you want to see Grok improve for future models!

We are and will continue to.

(I work on Grok) This isn't allowed. CSAM / deepfakes are against our acceptable use policy.

(I work on Grok) We've been working on teaching the model how to reason about great visual design principles. Obviously this is hard and somewhat subjective, but through a combination of writing down these principles (e.g. how to think about systems, not just "use this italic serif font on marketing pages"), and then creating a lot of data to pairwise compare designs/outputs, we've made a notable improvement over G4.5 and see a path to improving much further in the next model.

It works with the highest tier Cursor/Grok accounts during the beta.

It's quite a bit different, namely that ChatGPT Work has both local conversations and cloud agents. But for each cloud agent, you are spinning up and tearing down a new VM each time. This is an always-on Linux box, which stays logged in. Additionally, your bots can talk to each other (although Codex did have the ability to reference threads, I am not sure if one thread could send messages to other threads).

(I work at Cursor) We score well on Terminal-Bench and SWE-bench Multilingual. DeepSWE, not so great yet, as it's more for very long-horizon tasks. We're planning to include more public benchmarks in our next model release.

(I work at Cursor) When Composer 2.5 launched, we initially scored very competitively on AA's composite benchmark. I believe 3rd place overall. They have recently updated to use DeepSWE, which has more of a focus on very long-horizon tasks, and Composer isn't as good at those yet. We're aware and working on this for our next model.

Overall, some benchmarks show Composer doing well, others not so much. We think the model is very capable at the given price point. There's lots to improve! If you see any specific behaviors or places the model isn't very good, lmk here or can email me lrobinson at cursor.com.

(I work at Cursor) CursorBench includes many evals from actual engineering tasks from the Cursor team, which include our private codebase. This codebase is held-out from training so models haven't seen it, including Composer.

Will do. On it.

(I work at Cursor) Sorry about this, we should have made this more clear. The new privacy mode is needed because we have to store some state to enable running agents in the cloud. If you don't want to use cloud agents, you can continue using the legacy privacy mode. Currently the mobile app requires this new privacy mode and won't work without it. We're pushing an update right now to make this more clear in app and can help you get reverted back to the legacy version on the support thread.

Glass was a codename while the UI was in early alpha with testers. It redirects to download now because there is no special link anymore. It's just part of Cursor 3 itself.
