alt Hacker NewsThe problem is companies like OpenAI have the upper hand here as they show with the Codex models.
Which is what I was mentioning elsewhere. They build huge models with infinite money and distill them for certain tasks. Cursor doesn't have the funding, nor would it be wise, to try to replicate that.
Why do you think so? Cursor has raised what north of $3bn. That’s enough money to train or tune a model for coding. With their pricing changes I suspect they are trying to get at least to breakeven as quick as possible. They have massive incentives both on the quality of the model for tool chain use and from a cost perspective to try and run their own model generation.
