.cursor/rules, Better Codebase Understanding, New Tab Model
We're excited to announce several significant updates to Cursor in our latest release:
Key Features and Improvements
-
.cursor/rules
: Users can write several repository-level rules to disk in the.cursor/rules
directory. The Agent will automatically choose which rule to follow. -
Deepseek Models: Deepseek R1 and Deepseek v3 are supported in 0.45 and 0.44. You can enable them in Settings > Models. We self-host these models in the US.
-
Summarize Previous Composers: When conversations grow too long, you can start a new conversation while referencing the previous one.
-
Agent sees recent changes: The agent can use a tool to see your recent changes. It also sees changes made between user messages.
-
Better Codebase Understanding: We've trained a new model for Codebase Understanding. We'll be rolling it out to all users on 0.45 in the coming week.
-
Fusion Model: We've trained a new Tab Model that is substantially better at jumps and long context. We'll also be rolling this out to users shortly.
-
Optional Long Context: When tagging long files, users have the option to request a larger context window with premium models. This will use more fast requests.
