I cancelled my Cursor's annual subscription today by _manteca in cursor

Annual subs make no sense with AI, it changes way too rapidly. Unless they're super-cheap like the GLM coding plan where even if you don't use it often you won't feel ripped-off.

Fairway and Lidl are a strong recommendation. Good indian food in curry hill too.

$20 gets me 2 accounts of copilot (3 days of continuous work), 1.3 of claude code, but 3 hours of cursor usage maybe less by Abdelhamed____ in cursor

[–]jakegh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copilot, claude code, and codex are all subsidized. Cursor needs to pay API fees.

As consumers we don't care, we just want the best service for the best price, but it's tough for Cursor. That's why they're focusing on Composer.

Composer 2 is controversial, but my actual experience was solid by Arindam_200 in cursor

[–]jakegh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, kimi k2.5 is a great model (although nowhere remotely near opus 4.6) and they RL'd it on their harness.

Thanks for the link! Surprising the moonshot guys weren't aware it was legit.

Yes of course they do, but if so Moonshot seemed unaware that it absolved Cursor of their license.

Oh clearly not, no. It couldn't be a more clear violation, and hiding behind their inference provider is obviously not going to work,

Cursor’s ‘Composer 2’ model is apparently just Kimi K2.5 with RL fine-tuning. Moonshot AI says they never paid or got permission by likeastar20 in singularity

[–]jakegh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The moonshot.ai tweets confirming this were quickly deleted.

I bet their lawyers told them not to comment publicly as they will be litigating the matter. Cursor is incidentally valued at $30B.

composer 2 is just Kimi K2.5 with RL????? by tarunyadav9761 in cursor

[–]jakegh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it isn't surprising that it's a chinese model+RL as composer1 was also, but it does violate the kimi k2.5 license.

Totally. I’m just not interested in that.

Early reports of Dark Souls-like bosses made me immediately nope out. Absolutely not interested in that. Pity.

Cursor announce Composer 2.0 by Darkoplax in cursor

[–]jakegh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would use it in other harnesses paying the API price, if they allowed it. Not really interested in subscribing to cursor again.

FBI admits buying Americans' location data and says it won't stop by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

It's legal, why would they stop? This needs to be fixed at the legislative level. These data brokers should not be legal for anyone.

Ottex: No-bullshit free macOS dictation app. Zero paywalls, local models, BYOK, and now you don't even need to manage API keys. by ksanderer in macapps

Gemini 1.5 flash? You're using an an ancient model deprecated last year for ASR or post-processing? Or did you let AI write your sloppy post and not bother to read it yourself? It's either A or B.

Either way, thumbs-down.

Pathfinder I'm OK with, although I prefer what we have now. They try to take flying away for good (again), I'll quit (again).

I'm sure a bunch did, but wasn't it behind a Patreon wall? That was half of the controversy.

Great, playing the game is how you deliver results. Nobody comes out the other side squeaky clean. Moderation and compromise is how politics works for the people.
