ICYMI: Cursor launches Router to cut costs for coding models
Cursor says its new router can keep coding quality near frontier models while cutting model spend sharply.
Cursor Router picks a model before each coding request for Teams and Enterprise users across Cursor’s apps, CLI, and SDK. It is trained on more than 600,000 live requests and weighs task complexity, context, domain, and observed model behavior. Users choose Auto modes for Intelligence, Balance, or Cost, while admins can limit modes and models by team or group. Cursor reports early-access savings of 30% to 50% and A/B test results showing frontier-quality performance at 60% lower cost. TestingCatalog's note
