Cursor cloud agents get /goal and auto-subscribe to their own PRs
Agents become long-running workers that watch PRs, Slack, and schedules — while OpenAI keeps zero data retention and Fish Audio lands on Vercel's Gateway.

/goal runs the loop until CI is green
The new /goal command takes a long-lived objective — say "fix all flaky tests and make CI green" — and the cloud agent keeps working the whole loop instead of stopping after one pass. You set the target once and stop babysitting individual runs.
Agents now babysit their own PRs
Cloud agents auto-subscribe to the pull requests they open, fixing failing CI and answering bot comments on their own. They can also watch a Slack thread or fire on a schedule, so routine follow-up happens without you in the loop.
Subagent swarms, each in its own VM
Subagents now run on separate virtual machines with isolated copies of your project, so you can point a swarm at bug-hunting or a big refactor and they won't clobber each other's files. Parallel agent work stops being a merge-conflict minefield.
Custom modes pin skills 'always on'
New custom modes keep a chosen set of skills active for the whole chat, and mid-task steering now queues your message for the next tool call instead of cutting the agent off. You can redirect a running agent without derailing it.
OpenAI keeps zero data retention, adds Private Safety Processing
OpenAI confirmed ZDR API deployments still retain nothing, and previewed Private Safety Processing: automated checks spot risk patterns across interactions and surface only a "narrowly defined signal" — no content reaches staff. A white paper and rollout are due in September.
Fish Audio's voice models hit Vercel AI Gateway
Fish Audio's speech and transcription models are now callable through Vercel's AI Gateway on a single key — and free for 30 days. You can wire up TTS or STT for a voice agent without opening a separate provider account or juggling another bill.
