… Cursor says it plans to train future Composer models completely from scratch. But training AI models is quite an expensive undertaking. Cursor has historically done well doing more with less, though the AI coding race is now heating up. …
… Today’s AI models can make it almost easy. “AI-powered coding is super exciting because it has the potential to bridge the gap between conventional engineering methods, which are reliable but don't generalize, and contemporary vision-language-action models, which generalize but are not yet reliable… …
… OpenAI’s newest model, GPT-5.5, was released with enhanced coding skills earlier this month. The company is in a fierce race with rivals, especially Anthropic, to deliver cutting-edge AI, and coding has emerged as a killer capability. …
… At launch, OpenAI said the model “excels at accurately generating and debugging complex code.” Andrey Mishchenko, OpenAI's research lead for Codex, says a key reason AI models have become better at coding is because it's a verifiable task. …
… AI coding has captivated the AI world in recent months, even inspiring hope that models could one day rewrite their own code in a self-improvement loop. Hassabis says it’s possible but doubts that it will immediately lead to superhuman-level AI. …
… Andere says Wafer also adds “agentic harnesses” to existing coding models like Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s GPT to soup up their ability to write code that runs directly on chips. …
… While coding agents have taken off with developers, it’s unclear whether added capabilities will increase adoption among regular people. Google and OpenAI have said consumers could use AI agents to order groceries from Instacart or book a dinner reservation. …
… In August 2025, Anthropic blocked OpenAI’s access to its Claude coding models after the company alleged that its terms of service had been violated. More recently, Anthropic cut off xAI from using its AI models for coding as well. …
… We trained it to be good at code, but as a side effect of being good at code, it's also good at cyber.” He adds in the video that “more powerful models are going to come from us and from others. …
… AI companies do already think about the more subtle effects that their models can have on users. The sycophancy of some models—or how likely they are to agree with and patronize users—is something that OpenAI has sought to tone down with newer releases of GPT. …
