100-word summary
Cursor is rolling out Composer 2, which lets multiple AI agents tackle different parts of your codebase simultaneously. One agent writes the feature, another runs tests, a third validates changes in a live browser. The tool already serves over 1 million daily users at companies like Stripe and Figma. What changed: instead of waiting for one AI to finish editing before moving to the next task, developers can now watch several agents coordinate across planning, coding, and testing. The shift to parallel agents puts Cursor in direct competition with Anthropic and OpenAI's coding tools, betting that speed matters as much as accuracy when you're trying to ship.
