About Cursor
Cursor is a popular AI-enhanced fork of VS Code. It features inline AI editing, smart code completion, and a built-in agent that helped popularize the vibe coding trend. In August 2026, parent company Anysphere officially closed its $60 billion acquisition by SpaceX. Recent additions include the launch of Origin—a new code-hosting platform designed for agentic pull requests—and integration with Grok 4.6. Cursor offers a variety of usage-based tiers, starting with a limited free plan.

What people are saying
Developers are expressing excitement over the new Origin code-hosting platform, which promises a more agent-native development lifecycle, but continue to voice concerns about token bloat and privacy implications under SpaceX.
- "The vision of an E2E Developer platform from Origin to Cloud Agents is insane. Merging the hosting layer with the editor makes the agent’s context window feel infinite compared to traditional GitHub sync." — u/Dry-Resolve-5314 (August 2026)
- "Subagents with a coordinator running the show is super expensive and enterprises are finding out the true cost. Having your agent sit there and review everything it just did is pretty bloated token spend wise." — u/bezerker03 (August 2026)
- "SpaceX secured the right to buy Cursor for $60B... It has always been a public contract that Cursor uses and stores your conversations. SpaceX will store them and use them as well. You can use your imagination." — u/bezerker03 (August 2026)
