Expanded summary · Cursor

Cursor can now work autonomously over longer periods to complete more complex tasks without constant human intervention.

Cursor can now work autonomously over longer horizons to complete larger, more complex tasks. Long-running agents plan first and finish more difficult work without human intervention.

In research preview and internal testing, long-running agents completed work that was previously too hard for regular agents.

These long-running agents have successfully completed work previously too difficult for regular agents, resulting in more complete code changes.

In a new preprint, GPT‑5.2 proposed a formula for a gluon amplitude later proved by an internal OpenAI model and verified by the authors.

We’ve published a new preprint showing that a type of particle interaction many physicists expected would not occur can in fact arise under specific conditions.

The work focuses on gluons, the particles that carry the strong nuclear force.…
