Cursor maker Anysphere just teased a new proprietary model at Compile, slated for release in the next couple of weeks. Trained completely from scratch rather than on Kimi, the model matches Claude Opus in size, uses 10 to 20 times more compute than Composer, and targets broad general intelligence beyond coding.
Cursor maker Anysphere just apologized after shifting its $20-per-month Pro tier to API-rate usage, which caught subscribers off guard with unexpected charges and quickly depleted balances on newer models like Claude. CEO Michael Truell promised refunds to affected users, highlighting the growing cost pressures AI coding tools face from frontier model providers.
OpenAI is reportedly in talks to acquire AI coding startup Windsurf for around $3 billion. Before targeting Windsurf, the ChatGPT maker made two unsuccessful takeover attempts for Cursor creator Anysphere. If finalized, this would mark OpenAI's most expensive acquisition to date as the battle over developer tools intensifies.
