Cursor Composer 2.5 is an incremental upgrade over Composer 2, not a new model. Both run on Moonshot’s open-source Kimi K2.5 checkpoint, so the entire difference is training. Composer 2.5 learned from 25x more synthetic coding tasks plus targeted reinforcement learning. Standard pricing holds at $0.50 per million input tokens.
Key Takeaways
- Composer 2.5 and Composer 2 share the same open-source base model, so only the training changed.
- Cursor trained Composer 2.5 on 25 times more synthetic coding tasks than the older version.
- The standard model costs $0.50 per million input tokens and $2.50 per million output tokens.
- A faster variant exists for $3.00 input and $15.00 output per million tokens.
- Cursor is now building a much larger coding model from scratch with 10x more compute.
What is Cursor Composer 2.5?
Composer 2.5 is Cursor’s in-house coding model and the direct successor to Composer 2. It runs inside the Cursor editor, which slots into a crowded field of AI coding tools . The model is built for sustained work, not just quick one-shot answers.
