Composer 2.5 is the latest version of Cursor's in-editor agentic coding system, which drew 'Cursor just beat everyone' reactions for its real-world coding performance. The gains come as much from the harness - context handling, tool use and tight editor integration - as from the underlying models, making it one of the most practically important developer releases of mid-2026.
