  • Auto picks the model, you pick the priority

    Cursor's Auto mode now analyzes each request and sends it to the best model, in three modes: Intelligence for maximum quality, Balance for daily work, and Cost to trim token spend. Admins can lock a mode or restrict models per team or group, so you can cap costs without hand-switching models mid-task.

  • Thel: a terminal built for agents that run for hours

    A new open-source terminal for long-running AI coding sessions gives each agent its own git worktree, so you can run Claude, Codex, or Cursor agents in parallel without them clobbering the same files. Linux-only at launch.

  • Give your agent memory in one SQLite table

    Worklog is a lightweight open-source layer that stores an agent's structured memory in a single SQLite table — no vector database, no extra service to run. Drop it in when you want an agent to remember across runs without standing up infrastructure.
