The primary shift in focus with Cursor 2.0's updated UI is towards a more agent-centric approach, aiming for code-free development. The interface is designed so users can concentrate on prompts and the desired outcomes, with agents handling the code generation and details.
The Composer 1 model is recommended over more powerful models like GPT-5 or Sonnet 4.5 when speed is a priority. This includes implementing simple features, working on hobby projects, or when rapid iteration is needed, as it significantly speeds up the coding process.
Using multiple AI models simultaneously in Cursor 2.0 for frontend development allows you to run the same prompt through different models at the same time. This generates multiple output options, enabling you to choose the best one to integrate into your codebase, leading to more diverse and potentially higher-quality UI designs.
This video demonstrates how the speaker uses Cursor 2.0 to accelerate SaaS development. It covers new features like the updated UI, the Composer 1 model, multi-model capabilities, an in-built browser for debugging, code reviews, and cloud agents, highlighting how these tools contribute to faster and more efficient coding.
The in-built browser feature in Cursor 2.0 offers several advantages for debugging:
