Cursor Launches a New AI Agent Experience to Challenge Claude Code and Codex

On Thursday, Cursor announced the launch of Cursor 3, a new product interface that allows users to spin up AI coding agents to complete tasks on their behalf. The product, which was developed under the code name Glass, is Cursor's response to agentic coding tools like Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex, which have taken off with millions of developers in recent months.

"In the last few months, our profession has completely changed," said Jonas Nelle, one of Cursor's leading engineers, in an interview with WIRED. "A lot of the product that got Cursor here is not as important going forward anymore."

Cursor increasingly finds itself in competition with leading AI labs for developers and enterprise customers. The company pioneered one of the first and most popular ways for developers to code with AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google—making Cursor one of these companies' biggest AI customers. But in the last 18 months, OpenAI and Anthropic have launched agentic coding products of their own and started offering them through highly subsidized subscriptions that have put pressure on Cursor’s business.
