A copilot experience powered by gpt-4
### Long AI completions
If you press ⌘/^+↩️ on any line, you will now get gpt-4 powering fast-completions for you! We know that sometimes all of us want copilot to write an entire function or a big chunk of code. But copilot can be slow and sometimes just not smart enough :(. So we're trying to solve this with a new completion experience powered by gpt-4. Just press ⌘/^+↩️ and you'll get a long completion from gpt-4.
### Better support for remote-ssh
Remote-ssh is now built-in to cursor. You do not need to edit the behavior, it should just work :) We know this has been a big blocker for many users that rely on remote machines for development. If you are still running into issues, please let us know and we will fix it ASAP.
### AI linter
The AI linter is now enabled for everyone in pro! The AI will highlight suspicious parts of your code in blue. You can also add your own lint rules that you want that are easy to express in natural language but aren't covered by traditional linters.

* `.cursorrules`: You can write down repo-level rules for the AI by creating a `.cursorrules` file in the root of your repository. You might use this to give for context on what you're building, style guidelines, or info on commonly-used methods.
UPDATE (0.32.1-0.32.7): Fixes a performance issue with the new Copilot++ syntax highlighting, changes AI Notes to be default disabled, changes the naming of the `main` Copilot++ model to `legacy`, fixes Copilot++ being slower over SSH, fixes to the Copilot++ preview box.
Experimental: interface agent!
This nightly build comes with experimental interface agent support!
The goal: you write an interface specification, and an agent writes both the tests and the implementation for you. It makes sure that the tests pass, so you don't even need to look at the implementation at all.
We think this may enable a new kind of programming, that's kind of different to what we're all used to. Please experiment with it and let us know your thoughts in the Discord channel.
How to use it:
1. It only works in Typescript with vitest or mocha as test runners right now.
2. Hit Cmd-Shift-I, and give your new interface a name.
3. Write the methods you want your interface to have.
4. Hit Cmd-Shift-Enter, and the AI will write the interface for you!
Improvements to many features, Fixes to Python
* Improved the "@Add new doc" experience
* Python/Pylance support has been restored

* Importing VS Code extensions now takes into account enabled/disabled
* Cmd-k should work better for long diffs (greater than 100 lines of code)
Agents, new docs
Welcome to the first nightly release! It comes with agents, which we aren't releasing to the general public yet because we aren't convinced that they are useful. If you like them, please let us know what you use them for!
Fix for Cmd+K
Patches a few edgecases with Cmd+K.
Fix for Cmd+Shift+F
Fixes the VS Code codebase wide search for Mac ARM users without Rosetta.
Hotfix for "with codebase"
Includes a fix for the chat "with codebase" feature.
Release for Linux
This build has no changes for Mac and Windows, but fixes a problem for Linux users who can now upgrade to the latest version.
New inline edits
Cmd+K's UI has been changed: it's in-editor, "sticky," and @-symbol-compatible. We hope it helps you stay in flow and more quickly iterate on your prompts. (Also, you can now use up/down arrows for history in chat.)
Also, Cursor's AI will now use popular documentation to improve the answers to your questions. For example, if you ask it "how do I grab all s3 buckets with boto3?" it will search over the boto3 docs to find the answer. To add your own documentation or explicitly reference existing docs, type '@library\_name' in chat.
Bug fixes:
1. Long code selections no longer brick the editor
2. Auto-fixing errors no longer brings up the problems view (in particular, this fixes an annoying bug if you have auto-fix on save turned on)
More fixes

Diffs in AI linter feedback
The AI linter now shows diffs!
Azure Support
We've added support for using your Azure OpenAI credentials. Also, small improvements / fixes.
Hotfix for chat focus
Chat should not steal your focus away! This is now fixed.

This feature is still experimental. We're very interested in improving the ability of the AI to understand external libraries, and your [thoughts](https://forum.cursor.com/) will help us improve :).
Both pro and API key users can also try out gpt-4-0125-preview by configuring the model under Settings \> OpenAI API \> Configure Models. We’re testing the new model right now for pro users to see if it performs better than all older versions of gpt-4. If so, will roll out as the default experience.
UPDATE (0.24.3-0.24.4): Adds ability to configure OpenAI base URL, fixes [getcursor/cursor#1202](https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/issues/1202).
New Model, Apply Button v2
* "cursor-fast": This is a new model available in command-k and chat. Expect it to be a bit smarter than gpt-3.5, and with many fewer formatting errors.
* Apply button: We've added some polish to the "apply codeblock" experience in chat.
* Chat lints: If the AI suggests a code change in chat that involves a made up code symbol, we'll underline it. Availble for Python, Typescript, Rust.
* More chat symbol links: When the chat references a `code symbol`, you'll often be able to click directly to it.
UPDATE (0.23.3-0.23.9): Fixes to Command-K, changelog auto-opening, editing very long lines with Copilot++, the "delete index" button, connection errors being silenced, and proxied authentication.
Cursor-Fast Model
Cursor-Fast is a newly trained model between gpt-3.5 and gpt-4 coding capabilities, with very fast response times (~3.5 speed). We'll be working to improve its performance over the coming weeks. Counts the same as 3.5 usage.
Try using it for Cmd+k!
Bug fixes:
* Working WSL codebase search
* Supports newer version of python extension
Dev Containers
Dev containers are now supported! This build also:
* Upgrades Cursor to VS Code 1.85, which comes with support for dragging out tabs into a new window.
* Improves the stability of WSL.
Better Remote Support
WSL and Dev Containers should now work properly.
Early Preview: Hold-cmd-tap-shift to Trigger AI Rewrite
Hold down command, press and release shift, and continue holding down command. This will trigger tha AI to rewrite code around your Cursor — you can think of it as a manually triggered GPT-4-powered Copilot++. You can use it to write pseudocode and have the AI correct it, or for tedious refactors where Copilot++ doesn't quite suffice.
Aux Window Fixes
You can now use chat and cmd-k in the aux window without too many problems.
VS Code 1.85.1
Cursor is now based on VS Code 1.85.1, which, among other things, includes floating editor windows. Just drag and drop an editor onto your desktop to try it out.
Multiple Command-K, Copilot++ UI
You can now run multiple Command-K's in parallel! Also, it should now be easier to see change Copilot++ is suggesting.
Copilot++, @ previews, AI Review
* @ previews: We made it easier to see what codeblock you're @'ing.
* Copilot++: We've contined to improve the Copilot++ ghost text experience. Surprisingly, many of us now enjoy using Copilot++ without any other autocomplete plugin installed.
* AI Review (beta): This is a new experimental feature that let's GPT-4 scan your git diff or PR for bugs. You can enable it in the "More" tab beside chat. [Feedback](https://forum.cursor.com/) is much appreciated.
UPDATE (0.20.1-0.20.2): We added TLDRs to make it easier to sort through the bugs flagged by the AI review and fixed a bug with "Diff with Main."
Interpreter Mode Windows Bug
Fixes a CRLF bug in interpreter mode: [getcursor/cursor#1131](https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/issues/1131).
Copilot++ Improvements
We made Copilot++ faster, smarter, more constrained, and switched to a ghost-text + hit-Tab-to-accept UI. Would love your feedback.
Make SSH Work on Xon.sh
Make ssh work on xon.sh
Minor Bug Fixes
Mino bug fixes.
Fix Onboarding for Option Edits
Minor onboarding fixes.
0.18.5 - Onboarding & Feedback
Minor onboarding changes. Allows users to provide feedback on the chat response.
Smarter Followups
Running Cmd+enter on followups should result in much better codebase results.
Lowercase @ Folders Fix
Fixes the bug where all folders are switched to lowercase when using @ folder in chat.
Better Context Chat, Faster Copilot++
1. Better context chat: in particular, followups are now smarter!
2. Faster Copilot++: a few hundred milliseconds faster, through various networking optimizations. We still have several hundred additional milliseconds to cut here.
3. More reliable Copilot++ changes: less flashing, better highlighting of what's new.
Image Support, Interpreter Mode Beta, @ Folders
* Image Support in Chat: You can now drag and drop images into the chat to send them to the AI.
* Interpeter Mode Beta: You can now enable Interpreter Mode in the "More" tab. This gives the chat access to a Python notebook, semantic search, and more tools.
* @ folders: You can now use the @ symbol to reference specific folders! We'll try to pick out the most relevant code snippets to show the AI.
* Copilot++ Improvements: We've spent some time improving the latency of Copilot++, and you can change the Copilot++ keybinding to not be Option/Alt. More to come here soon, especially on the model itself!
0.16.9-nightly - Interpreter Mode Windows Bug Fixes
Fixes a bug where the interpreter mode just wouldn't run at all on Windows.
GPT-V Windows Bug-fixes
Fixes the bug where images weren't showing up or being sent to server on Windows.
@folder
You can now @folder in the chat to chat with a folder. Let us know what you think!
Interpreter Mode Beta
Experimental feature: go to "More" \> "Interpreter Mode" to enable it. Gives the model access to a Python notebook where it can take actions in the editor. Please give us feedback in the Discord! We'd love to know if you find it useful.
GPT-V Support
Integrates GPT-V into chat for the editor. This means you can take screenshots/images and drag it into the chat inputbox to have Cursor use them as context. This is an experimental feature and very limited by capacity, so you may see errors during traffic spikes.
Copilot++ improvements and VS Code 1.84.2
Copilot++ improvements:
1. Caching — add and delete a letter and the suggestion will still be there for you!
2. Do not interfere with intellisense and cmd-k.
3. Fixes bugs with lag on large files and with the blue highlight staying around.
4. Copilot++ sees your lint errors and will use this to improve its suggestions
Cursor is now based on VS Code 1.84.2. Notably, this fixes a few notebook bugs, and ensures that all of the most recent extensions work.
New upstream
Now based on VS Code 1.84.2. Notably, this fixes a few notebook bugs, and ensures that all of the most recent extensions work.
0.15.5 - Copilot++ improvements, Bug fixes
* Copilot++ improvements: Includes green highlights to see what Copilot++ has added, the ability to accept multiple Copilot++ suggestions immediately one after another, support for Copilot++ on SSH, and fixes to how Copilot++ UI interacts with autocomplete plugins.
* Bug fixes: Fixed a bug where Cmd-k could get into a bad state when removing at the top of a file. And another that was causing some files to not be indexed.
0.15.1 - New models, Copilot++ beta
* Command-dot: you can now use the Command-dot menu to have Command-K fix lint errors inline.
* New models: you can plug in your API key to try out the newest gpt-4 and gpt-3 turbo models. We're evaluating the coding skills of these models before rolling out to pro users.
* Apply chat suggestions: click on the play button on any code block to have the AI apply in-chat suggestions to your current file.
* Copilot++ (beta): this is an "add-on" to Copilot that suggests diffs around your cursor, using your recent edits as context. To enable it, go to the "More" tab in the right chat bar. Note: to cover the costs of the AI, this is only available for pro users.
* This is very experimental, so don't expect too much yet! [Your feedback](https://forum.cursor.com/) will decide which direction we take this.
Indexing fixes
Fixes a problem where indexing got stuck. Indexing capacity is now also allocated by-user, so it should be more fair and faster for most users.
Pro++, Word-wrapping diffs, and more
* Pro++ plan: if you hit your fast request limit and prefer to purchase more, you now can.
* Chat scroll: we got rid of sticky scroll to make the chat easier to read.
* Cmd-K diffs: these now obey word-wrap! You can also copy from the red text.
* Fixed the bug where you can't use chat on a diff view.
* Shipped better error logging, which should help us improve stability.
* Styling tweaks: some buttons and hints should look nicer!
* Screen flickering: made a change that should reduce screen flickering on monitors.
0.13.4 - New VS Code version
Cursor is now based on VS Code 1.83.1. This ensures that the newest versions of all extensions will work without problem in Cursor. Thank you to everyone who urged us to do this on the [forum](https://forum.cursor.com/t/vscode-version-1-83-cursor/954/21)!
Also, there's an experimental bash mode: enable it in the settings, and let the chat answer questions with the help of running bash commands. If you find it useful, please let us know, and we will spend more time on making it production-ready!
Update: this change resulted in a problem with SSHing into old Linux distros. This has now been fixed!
0.12.3 - Small fixes
Bug fixes: (1) .cursorignore now completely respects .gitignore syntax, (2) codebase queries use the embeddings index if \>\= 80% of it is indexed, instead of requiring the entire thing to be indexed, (3) removed fade-in animation on startup, (4) no longer overrides cmd-delete in the terminal, (5) fixes problem where cmd-F randomly has the case-sensitive option enabled, (6) inline gpt-4 is turned off until we figure out a better UX, (7) even more stable and fast indexing, (8) progress indicator in search and extensions, (9) bug where an incorrect bearer token is passed to the server.
Jupyter Import Fix
Fixes a bug that prevents importing the jupyter extension from VS Code.
Indexing, cmd-k in terminal, @git, /edit, bugfixes
1. Indexing should now be faster, more stable, and use less of your system resources. You can also configure ignored files in a `.cursorignore`. The controls are in the "More" tab.
2. Cmd-k is now in the terminal! A bit hackily implemented, but surprisingly useful.
3. Ask about git commits and PRs using @git in chat!
4. Use /edit in the chat to edit a whole file (if less than 400 lines). Expect the edits to be fast and GPT-4-quality. This uses non-public models, and is for now only available to users who do not use their own API key.
5. Bugfixes! Fixed the "ejected from slow mode" UI, added auto-switching logic for the model type when switching on API, improved @ symbol speed, fixed Windows keycommand to be Ctrl-Shift-Y instead of Ctrl-Y, and more.
/edit in chat
You can now use an early preview of `/edit` in the chat! It's significantly faster at editing entire files than just using cmd-k. The `/edit` feature is currently only supported if you do not use your own API key, since it relies on non-public models.
gitignore and search hotfix
1. Fixes an annoying gitignore path bug
2. never lets your root directory be in the gitignore
3. fixes search over the repository.
Stable Indexing v0.1
Stable version of indexing. this should be much more stable than previous versions.
Cmd-K in the terminal!
Hacky first version of cmd-K in the terminal! Let us know what you think.
0.11.8 - Patches
Fixes issues with Cmd-k, SSH, Python support, Vim (rolling back to 1.25.2 until this issue is fixed: [VSCodeVim/Vim#8603](https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues/8603)), and other extensions.
More Stable Codebase Indexing
We ship a new version of indexing which should be significantly more stable than previous versions
Inline Chat
You can now alternate between diffs and texts responses in Cmd-K. This can be helpful for clarifying the models thinking behind a diff or for getting quick inline answers to questions about a file.
Cursor Python and Cursor Marketplace
We point to a different marketplace for downloading extensions, and use a fork of ms-python and pyright to provide python support.
Re-enable Cursor Python
We re-enable cursor python in nightly, this time with defaults that more closely resemble pylance.
Cursor Marketplace
We serve extensions now using Cursor's Extension Marketplace
Fix bug in @ symbol ranking
Fixes a bug where the @ symbol would rank suboptimally.
Quick question and @chat in cmd+k
Ask a question about an edit that the model with option+enter, or bring in context from the chat with @chat! An early preview, so please let us know what you think.
Fixed builtin cursor-python defaults
The defaults for cursor python are different than pylance, which has affected several users. We make them closer to the pylance defaults in this update.
0.10.3 - Reduce extension recommendations
Fixes an issue where some users were getting extension popup recommendations too often.
Styling tweaks
Updated some css!

Updated some css!
Better Docs Management, Staged Rollouts
### Docs
The main addition in this update is better docs support. This means you can add and remove docs and inspect the urls that are actually being used for each doc you have uploaded. You'll also be able to see what webpages end up being shown to GPT-4 to provide you an answer.
You can also paste a url into the chat and the model will automatically include it in the context being used. Teams can also share private docs.
### Staged Rollouts
Following this update, future updates should come as staged rollouts. This will mean greater guarantees of stability and more frequent updates.
### Long files in chat
We continued to improve the experience of chatting with large files. If you @ multiple files that are too large to fit in GPT-4's context window, we'll intelligently pick the most relevant chunks of code to show to show the model.
### Bug fixes:
* Copy Paste chat text form Jupyter
* Some chat focus issues
* UI tweaks
* Better state management - prevents crashes from editor using too much memory
Hotfix for indexing
Fixes a bug with indexing if you had turned off indexing by default.
@definitions in cmd+k
Also fixes a few cmd+k bugs, as well as introduces new cmd+k bugs! Please report all cmd+k bugs you find to us in the Discord channel.
New AI Project
We release an improved New AI Project feature to nightly users. This is a more robust chain and cleaner UX for producing a project end-to-end.
It still struggles with coherently producing large complex projects, but produces much better first drafts than previously
Better State Management
We no longer store any full files in memory and prevent users from @'ing very large files (\> 2MB) This should reduce any significant memory issues that users have been experiencing.
Hotfix Cmd-K unexpectedly outputting backticks
Cmd-K will no longer output backticks if you do `@file`.
Docs updates
Updates to docs (try pasting a link in chat, you can delete/edit docs, you can see citations), @ symbol performance on long files in chat should improve, and more.
Cursor-Python LSP
Ships with cursor-python, a Language-Server fork of pyright built for Cursor
Staged Rollouts
We can push an update to a randomly sampled small fraction of our users before rolling out to everyone.
Hotfix Github Auth
You should now be able to sign in with GitHub again.
Hotfix for large persisted state
Could cause [getcursor/cursor#843](https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/issues/843).
Hotfix large persisted state
Could cause [getcursor/cursor#843](https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/issues/843).
Hotfix SSH
Hotfixes a problem with SSH.
Auditable codebase context, VS Code left bar
* [You can now switch to the VS Code sidebar orientation](https://forum.cursor.com/t/getting-used-to-the-orientation-of-the-primary-sidebar/20/4?u=truell20)
* For "with codebase" chats, you can now see the codebase context that Cursor shows GPT-4. We hope this will make it easier to prompt codebase answers.
* API Key input box is now a password type
* Fixed a bug where code was being indexed right after turning off the indexing option
* A new icon! Thank you so much to [the amazing Atanas Mahony](https://twitter.com/amahony/status/1694662454041604510) who made it.
Small refactor
Small refactor that we want to make sure doesn't break! Please report bugs if you find them.
Email in settings
The email under the logout button in Cursor settings was not updating.
Advanced Button
Have the advanced context button show up for non git repos.
Bug fix for people on language packs
We had a big bug for people on language packs. Thank you to all who helped us debug! This should now be fixed, and should not happen again.
WSL Fixes
Applies the patch [from Github](https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/issues/660#issuecomment-1692569259) across all your WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) distros, either automatically or through the "Fix WSL" command palette command.
Codebase indexing controls
Fixes a bug were codebase indexing controls where inadvertently removed.
Cmd-k Followups, chat with large files, and more
* You can now reply to Cmd-K outputs, making it much easier to have the model revise its work.
* If you @ reference a long file that will be cutoff by the context limit, you'll be given the option to automatically chunk the file and scan it with many GPTs.
* Codeblocks and code symbols in "with codebase" responses will now often be clickable.
* Follow-up chat messages to "with codebase" will keep the codebase context.
* Nicer error messages in the chat! Fewer annoying popups.
* Activity bar elements can now be reordered with drag-and-drop.
* SSH support is now more robust! Please continue to let us know if you are experiencing any SSH problems.
Activity bar can now be vertical
Set `workbench.activityBar.orientation` to `vertical`, and restart Cursor, to see the vertical activity bar that you're used to from VS Code.
