Composer 2 performance issues in Cursor IDE linked to recent model updates or configurations
Recent user reports indicate slowdowns in Cursor IDE's 'Fast' code completion mode, coinciding with discussions about Composer 2 and Opus 4.7 token limits. This suggests a potential correlation between Composer 2's performance, Opus 4.7's resource usage, and recent updates or configuration changes within Cursor IDE that may be impacting overall speed.
Composer 2's effectiveness is highly dependent on specific prompting techniques and user configuration
User feedback highlights Composer 2's impressive speed but notes a steep learning curve due to its need for precise prompting, contrasting with more forgiving models. Coupled with reports of Cursor IDE defaulting to Composer 2 even when other models are selected, this suggests that user success with Composer 2 may be significantly influenced by their ability to master its prompting nuances and manage IDE model selection settings.
Cursor IDE may be under-utilizing newer models like Composer 2 due to subagent configuration issues
Despite users explicitly setting Composer 2 or newer models as defaults, some reports indicate Cursor IDE's subagents continue to use older models. This suggests a potential bug or misconfiguration within Cursor IDE's subagent system that prevents it from consistently leveraging the latest or user-selected models, impacting the overall AI coding experience.
