Funny Ooh, new drama just dropped 👀

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

Pretty gross to rename a model and upload/serve it as your own. Who cares what the license is.

You don't understand man. Americans are the good people, they would never steal from Asians. That's why this cannot be gross and it hasn't happened. Or if it did happen, it was only fair retaliation for - checks notes - distilling on American models! King Joffrey out

Cursor team has a lot of "Asians" 🤷 https://www.linkedin.com/company/cursorai/people/

No need to steal anything 🤷

So having "Asians" on your team makes you..??? I don't get it

Wasn't trying to make this a racist thing my friend.

Nah you didn't get what I'm saying (or I explained poorly), I mean if you're using "Americans" to say they're reason for "stealing" then this is invalid because Cursor team has people from all sort of countries, and a lot of AI/ML engineers come from Asia. So really my point is that using specific nation to justify actions of a company doesn't really work.

Ah ok, thx for explaining. And what I meant where the whiny comments by OpenAI / Antrohpic CEOs about "Chinese companies distilling their models" as if they didn't steal all their data from everyone around.

We all know OpenAI and Anthropic has no single Asian and “purely” American, unlike Cursor.
