Cursor Ships Composer 2, Beating Anthropic's Opus 4.6 at One-Tenth the Token Cost

Cursor released Composer 2, a coding-only AI model that outscores Anthropic's Opus 4.6 on Terminal-Bench 2.0 at one-tenth the token cost. The secret is self-summarization, a reinforcement learning technique that compresses 100,000 tokens of context down to 1,000 without losing the thread. Hours later, OpenAI bought Astral, the company behind Python tools used by millions. Two deals in one day. The coding market is consolidating, and the enterprise data explains why.

The lock-in runs from chip to software to model to security layer. Nobody on stage asked the one question that matters.
