Code tools that OpenAI has invested heavily inCursor, rebelled:

Quietly switched the default model to Claude.

We tried to register a new account and install it without changing any settings. The first time we called up code completion, we were greeted by Claude-3.5-Sonnet.

The company behind CursorAnysphere, in the early days of establishmentReceived $8 million from OpenAI, accounting for 72.7% of the round, logically speaking, he should be a hardcore OpenAI fan.

But now it has switched camps, which means that OpenAI has temporarily lost its dominance in the important scenario of code generation.

Of course, it also reflects that OpenAI's investment agreement is relatively loose.

Or maybe... they are so confident in the next generation model that they don't have to worry about temporary gains and losses?

Cursor becomes a top tool for programmers

Cursor is very popular recently. Many programmer friends have said that they haveStop paying for GitHub Copilot and switch to Cursor。

Please note that Cursor costs $20/month, which is twice as expensive as GitHub Copilot next door.

Even well-known independent developers@levelsioSharing, in order to overcome my habit of using VS Code, I staged aCyber ​​version of "Your Name"：

Change the name and icon of the Cursor application to VS Code. The next time you write code, you will launch VS Code by muscle memory and the Cursor will actually be open.

So, what is the charm of Cursor that makes programmers crazy about it?

A lot of that is thanks to the fact that the Claude-3.5-Sonnet can be used in it.

In addition to supporting a wide range of models, Cursor also has many commendable aspects in product design.

For example, the new feature just launched in May this year"Cursor Position Prediction"It was widely acclaimed.

After modifying a code, AI automatically predicts where you want to modify next, eliminating manual navigation.

Another example is the multi-line editing function, where AI suggests modifying multiple lines of code at once, saving more time and is often used for formatting adjustments.

More importantly, the two can be combined to become:

When you modify the format of a line of code, you only need to press the tab key a few times to adjust the format of the entire file.

Recently started testing experimentalComposerThis function allows AI to edit across files and modify all related files in a project at the same time, which has changed the workflow of many people.

The official promotion has not started yet, but programmers around the world have already started spreading the word, "Cusor, you are stupid if you don't promote this."

I just saw an interesting story. An entrepreneur saw a guy who was doing traditional AI programming in a cafe. He placed the VS Code and Claude windows side by side.

It's really hard not to tell him to use Cursor instead.

The ending has also been updated: I finally went to tell him, and my brother is downloading it now.

One More Thing

In the field of code generation, Claude is establishing its dominance.

In the latest Livebench benchmark test, Claude-3.5-Sonnet topped the list after its launch.Neither the GPT-4o API version nor the ChatGPT version updated weekly were able to surpass。

Don't forget that the more powerful Claude-3.5-Opus has not yet been released.

Moreover, at the application level, in addition to Cursor, another online integrated development platform, Replit, has just promoted the access to Claude-3.5-Sonnet as an important feature.
