Cursor's Composer 2 coding model built on Moonshot AI's Kimi, not developed from scratch
Cursor acknowledged that its newly launched Composer 2 coding model was built on Moonshot AI's open-source Kimi 2.5 model, not developed independently. The admission came after user scrutiny revealed code references to Kimi. Cursor claims only 25% of compute came from the base model, with 75% from its own training and reinforcement learning.
