Wes Roth: 'Cursor JUST beat EVERYONE…'
Wes Roth's new video argues Cursor has pulled ahead of rival AI coding agents, walking through the Cursor Compile 26 opening keynote and the Composer 2.5 in-house coding model.
Wes Roth's take on why Cursor leads the AI coding agent race after Compile 26 and Composer 2.5.
What is it?
Wes Roth's June 23 video reviews how Cursor stacks up against other AI coding agents, using clips from the Cursor Compile 26 opening keynote and from Cursor's Composer 2.5 launch.
How does it work?
The video walks through Cursor's in-house Composer 2.5 coding model (built on Moonshot's Kimi K2.5 checkpoint), its standard $0.50 / $2.50 per-million-token pricing, the Faster tier at $3 / $15, and the Compile 26 keynote announcements.
Why does it matter?
Owning the underlying coding model — instead of wrapping a third-party API — is Cursor's strategic bet, and Roth frames why that bet is starting to separate Cursor from Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents for everyday developers.
