Cursor 1.4 is out with a significantly more capable agent. It’s now much better at challenging and long-running tasks, especially in large codebases. We’ve also given the agent better tools, made token usage more efficient, and improved code editing accuracy.

It’s now easier to steer the agent while it’s running. Sending a new message will schedule at the ideal time, usually after a tool call, versus queuing and waiting until the agent finishes.

Background Agents can be used directly inside GitHub pull requests. Tag @cursor and the agent will read the context, apply the fix, and push a commit. We’ve also reduced the startup time by over 70%!
