Keen to try this out. Composer 2 is a reliable workhorse and much cheaper than the frontier models. Yes it may be based on Kimi, but it is good, really good. My workflow: - If its simple/obvious - give it to composee 2 immediately - If its complex either work on a plan with ChatGPT (pro mode is insane) or create a plan with GPT 5.5 or GPT 5.3 codex, and then implement with composer I continue to be surprised at how good Anthropic are at getting people to promote an agent harness that doesn't have a decent UI. Cursor has as good (arguably better) coding agent AND a decent UI. Yes its forked from VS Code, but who cares it's good. I tried Zed the other day, but can't really see the advantage - on a decent mac performance is the same, and Cursor is more polished. Anthropic may be winning the PR battle but I think cursor is laughing all the way to the bank.

Why should I pay more for a Chinese model's wrapper? Or is Cursor's subscription more subsidized than Kimi's? Anyone know?
