About Composer 1.5
Composer 1.5 is the latest agentic coding model from Cursor that balances speed and intelligence for everyday code tasks by scaling reinforcement learning approximately 20x more than its predecessor, enabling stronger performance on real-world programming challenges. It’s designed as a “thinking model” that generates internal reasoning tokens to analyze a user’s codebase and plan next steps, responding quickly to simple problems and engaging deeper reasoning on complex ones, while remaining interactive and fast for daily development workflows. To handle long-running tasks, Composer 1.5 introduces self-summarization, allowing the model to compress and carry forward context when it reaches context limits, which helps maintain accuracy across varying input lengths. Internal benchmarks show it surpasses Composer 1 in coding tasks, especially on more difficult issues, making it more capable for interactive use within Cursor’s environment.

Claude Sonnet 5.5
Claude Sonnet 5.5 is Anthropic’s mid-tier Claude 5.5 model designed for fast, well-scoped everyday work, coding, and professional document creation. Anthropic says it runs more than 30% faster than Claude Sonnet 5 and typically costs up to 30% less per task while keeping the same base token pricing. The model shows major gains in agentic coding, with a 70.6% score on Terminal-Bench 4.0 and stronger performance on FrontierCode and CursorBench than its predecessor. Sonnet 5.5 also performs strongly on knowledge work, computer use, chart understanding, and long-horizon tasks, in some cases approaching Claude Opus 5.5 at higher effort settings. Anthropic positions it as especially useful for debugging, routine coding, collaboration, and producing polished documents, slides, spreadsheets, and user interfaces. Claude Sonnet 5.5 is available across Anthropic’s platforms as well as AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.

Claude Fable 5.1
Claude Fable 5.1 is Anthropic’s advanced AI model for coding, knowledge work, research, and long-running agentic tasks. It is designed to improve on Claude Fable 5 with stronger performance across software engineering, scientific research, multidisciplinary reasoning, computer use, business workflows, and complex problem solving. The model can handle extended multi-step work, verify its own results, diagnose difficult software issues, and operate effectively across tool-heavy workflows. Anthropic also reduced cache-read pricing for Fable 5.1, lowering typical usage costs compared with Fable 5 and creating larger savings for highly agentic workloads. Fable 5.1 includes updated safeguards intended to reduce false positives while allowing more legitimate cybersecurity tasks such as vulnerability discovery for defensive purposes. The model is available through Claude products, the Claude API, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
