Description
Composer 2 by Cursor is a frontier-level coding model built for complex, long-horizon development tasks. It combines strong benchmark performance with highly efficient pricing ($0.50/M input, $2.50/M output). Powered by continued pretraining and reinforcement learning, it delivers smarter code generation with better cost-performance, plus a faster variant for real-time workflows.

Could you build this?
No Composer 2 is a custom frontier-level code foundation model trained through continued pretraining and large-scale reinforcement learning.
What it would actually take: Creating a competitive coding foundation model requires collecting and filtering petabytes of high-quality source code, running continued pretraining across massive GPU clusters, and designing advanced Reinforcement Learning from Compiler/Execution Feedback (RLCF) pipelines with customized evaluation harnesses.
