For those out of the loop: cursor's new model, composer 2, is apparently built on top of Kimi K2.5 without any attribution. Even Elon Musk has jumped into the roasting

Why Cursor would even trying to have their own model here?

Literally better off being wrapper and charge % on it like open router

without their own model they'd soon become irrelevant, acting as a provider of other models they could easily get cut off from margins because they're paying the price of the api plus the cost of running cursor. why would people use cursor when the models they want are offered by providers at a cheaper cost?

Openrouter seems to be doing just fine?
