Story

Cursor was founded in 2022 (by Anysphere) as a fork of VS Code rebuilt around AI. By 2024, it had become the most-used AI IDE among professional developers — and by 2026, it's a multi-hundred-million-dollar revenue product. Cursor's edge has been integrating cutting-edge models (Claude, GPT, fine-tuned variants) into a polished IDE experience faster than anyone else. The brand is direct, dev-flavored, and very on-trend.

What they built

Cursor (the IDE), Tab autocomplete model, agentic background mode.
