    Let me guess - they vibe coded this anouncement page also?

    I cannot be sure but there are clues ... (The fact that this page crashes after ten seconds on mobile chrome being the first one :))

      Crashed Safari on my iPad multiple times. For what should be a static text page. Pretty bad look for a software development tool.

        I think it's the amount of embedded videos. I appreciate them because it really illustrates what each feature is, but they lag the page. If I recall this can be solved with animated webp images which are more lightweight than full on <video/>s. Or maybe just not autoplaying them

    I don't understand multi-agent vibe coding.

    because with vibe coding, one can easily generate thousand lines of code in a short period of time. If we do this in parallel, merging the changes, resolving merge conflicts will be a nightmare. Unless, the agents work on completely isolated modules, but that's rarely the case?

      separate projects, working on multiple projects at once, I find context switching is a lot easier than having multiple agents on 1 project

      You could have them work in separate areas if it's in the same code base or just spread work across code bases. Not sure if that's a very efficient or enjoyable way to work but I'm assuming that's how you could scale it.

      I use git worktree for that... it's great

      I read their pitch as trying out multiple agents to do the same task and then pick your favorite approach

        I might get this with ui/styling experimentation. But shouldn’t devs have an idea of what they’re building - the specific building blocks, logical, and data flows - before you prompt? I couldn’t imagine getting three different one shot attempts at an implementation and having to validate and read through each one.

          Not everything will work the first time. You could try 3 approaches and immediately discard the ones that don't pass tests. (Which is likely to be 1-2 of them)

    This page transferred well over 200MB of video before I stopped it, just FYI.

    Couldn't find the info quickly, is the stealth model cheetah they had a few weeks ago their new Composer 1 model? If not, who's was it?

    Edit: yes it was: https://x.com/amanrsanger/status/1983581288755032320

    What is it, two full years now that Cursor has failed to simply provide a list of the languages that their IDE supports? All the examples show Python. Is it Python only? Will it support the language I'm using? Who knows. Am I supposed to just download it and find out? How on earth do you have an IDE as a product and not bother listing what languages you can develop in with it?

      I mean, it's a vs code fork. You can install support for "most" languages, if you mean LSP and syntax highlighting stuff. Most of this won't be managed by Cursor (the company) so i don't think they can list any bc they don't know.

      If you mean regarding AI output, it would depend on the model, which for claude and GPT-5 again isn't Cursor-created. So again, they don't know.

    The only change i really care about here is the ability to see the entire diff (all files) in a single tab

      That's nice. Before I was pushing everything to GitHub and opening a draft PR to self-review.
