Known issues we've tracked

CURSOR ROUTER (2026-07-22, vendor changelog): Cursor shipped **Cursor Router**, intelligent per-request model routing that picks the model for each request across three selectable modes -- **Intelligence** (best model regardless of cost), **Balance**, and **Cost** -- rather than making you pin one model. Admin controls let teams restrict which modes are allowed and allowlist specific models; it works across desktop, web, iOS, CLI, and SDK, and is **on by default for Teams**. Separately (2026-07-17) Cursor overhauled its **Slack integration** -- plan-before-execute, multi-repo awareness, and cross-channel context. Feature releases, no pricing change

GROK 4.5 SHIPPED (2026-07-08, vendor-primary on BOTH sides): the SpaceXAI + Cursor joint model is real and launched as **Grok 4.5** -- a mixture-of-experts frontier model Cursor says it 'trained jointly with SpaceXAI,' incorporating **trillions of tokens of Cursor data** plus RL on deliberately hard problems, aimed beyond software engineering at data science, finance, and legal work. **Available in Cursor on ALL plans across desktop, web, iOS, CLI, and the SDK** from day one. Pricing: **$2/M input + $6/M output** (base) and **$4/$18 for a faster variant**. Vendor-reported benchmarks: Terminal-Bench 2.1 83.3%, SWE-Bench Pro 64.7%, #1 on Harvey's Legal Agent Benchmark, and striking token efficiency (~15,954 output tokens per SWE-Bench Pro task vs ~67,020 for Opus 4.8 max, per press relaying the launch charts). INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION LANDED 7/9-10: **Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index 54** (4th among frontier models per AA's launch article), GDPval-AA Elo 1543, 92.9 tok/s measured. **Composer 2.5 remains available as a separate, smaller weight class** -- Grok 4.5 is the frontier tier above it. Not yet available in the EU at launch. This resolves the 7/7 Reuters/The Information 'imminent' report and confirms the post-acquisition Cursor+SpaceXAI stack is shipping first-party frontier models

ENTERPRISE (2026-06-30, v3.10 changelog): **Team MCP servers** -- admins configure MCP servers once at the team level and they distribute across cloud agents, the Agents window, IDE, and CLI; marketplace access can now be restricted by organization group. Small release, but it closes an enterprise-governance gap for MCP-heavy teams

TEAMS PRICING OVERHAUL (2026-06, effective immediately for new customers / **billing cycles starting 2026-07-01 for renewals**): Cursor restructured Teams into TWO usage pools per seat -- a 'generous' pool reserved for first-party Cursor models (Composer + Auto), and a separate pool for third-party API models (Claude/OpenAI/Gemini). **Standard seat: $32/mo annual ($40 monthly), now with MORE included usage at the same price** (Cursor credits Composer 2.5's cost efficiency). **New Premium seat: $96/mo annual ($120 monthly) = 5x the Standard seat's included usage at 3x the cost** -- for heavy agentic teams. Practical read: if your team lived on third-party frontier models, watch which pool your usage draws from now; the extra headroom is concentrated in the first-party Composer pool. NOT the June-2025 Pro-plan backlash -- this is a fresh Teams-tier change.

PLATFORM (2026-06-29): **Cursor for iOS entered public beta** -- a native iPhone app to monitor, steer, and kick off cloud agent runs from your phone (Android 'planned,' no date). Extends the cross-platform agent story off the desktop. Context worth tracking: SpaceX's option to acquire Anysphere (~$60B all-stock) is expected to close in Q3 2026, which could reshape Cursor branding/roadmap. Separately, **Cursor Origin** -- an agent-first Git forge/hosting platform announced 6/16 -- remains waitlist-only with GA targeted 'fall 2026'; no pricing yet.

BUGBOT UPDATE (2026-06-10, vendor changelog): Bugbot is now **3x faster (~90s average review), 22% cheaper, and finds ~10% more bugs** (0.56 → 0.62 bugs/review per Cursor's published numbers). MODEL-GAP NOTE: **Claude Fable 5 (launched 6/9) is NOT yet available in Cursor** as of 6/10 -- it went day-one GA in GitHub Copilot, Bedrock, Foundry, and Vertex; if you want the strongest agentic-coding model inside Cursor you're waiting on Anysphere
