Cursor probably ran out of user growth, because instead of making their product good, they created a YouTube channel and started talking about how good their product is.

Currently two videos. An announcement and a discussion about their model.

Key points:

• The goal of Cursor is to create an AI assistant for developers that understands code better than a human.
• Approach: They train models on huge amounts of data (including private repositories). They apply "curriculum learning" - from simple to complex.
• Results: Cursor's models outperform Copilot and ChatGPT in code understanding tests. They can edit code, not just generate it (e.g., make changes based on instructions).
• Features: "Code infilling" - predicting missing parts of the code. "Long-range dependencies" - understanding connections in large files.

Mistral Agents API
https://mistral.ai/news/agents-api

Mistral AI introduces the Agents API — a tool for creating autonomous AI agents that: perform actions (code, search, image generation), while maintaining context between requests and coordinating with each other.

• Code execution (Python in a sandbox, TypeScript promised soon). https://docs.mistral.ai/agents/connectors/code_interpreter/
• Image generation (Black Forest Lab FLUX1.1).
• Document processing (RAG).

An example provided is a Developer Assistant - integration with GitHub.

Factory Droids (bad name from a search perspective)
https://www.factory.ai/news/ga
Startup Factory announced the launch of its Droids platform — another "world's first" autonomous agents for the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

They do everything that background AI coders currently do:

1. Autonomous development — create production-ready features based on specs or requests. Automatically prioritize and assign tickets.
2. Incident resolution — analyze alerts, find root causes, and fix bugs. Perform context-aware PR reviews.
3. Deep code analysis — search for answers in the codebase, documentation, and the internet.

The interface can be seen in the video:

Costs $40+$10 per month.
