Update: Cursor Origin now deploys to Vercel and runs your CI
Cursor's new code host quietly closes the loop: PR previews, merge-to-prod, and your existing GitHub Actions via Depot or Buildkite.

Merge a PR, it ships to production
Origin's Vercel extension gives every pull request its own preview deployment for testing and inline comments; merge and it goes live — no separate GitHub-to-Vercel wiring. It's on all paid plans unless your org's admins opted out.
Your GitHub Actions come along, via Depot or Buildkite
Both Origin extensions run your existing GitHub Actions workflows, and Buildkite adds its own native pipelines on top — so moving a repo onto Cursor's host doesn't mean rebuilding CI from scratch.
Cloud Agents now boot into a ready environment
Cursor's new Builds pre-bakes your dev environment so cloud agents skip setup — roughly 3x faster time-to-first-token and 10x faster boot internally. That's minutes back on every agent run.
Claude Code 2.1.234 plugs an MCP secret leak
The latest release stops MCP diagnostics from printing resolved secrets and adds a CLAUDE_CODE_PROJECT_DIR_NAME override for transcript folders. Worth the update if you run MCP servers.
Elsewhere: OpenAI's Ultrafast mode, up to 14x
OpenAI opened a limited API preview of Ultrafast mode for GPT-5.6 Sol, claiming up to 14x faster output than the Standard tier. It's invite-only for now — watch for GA before you rebuild latency-critical paths around it.
