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.
