Cursor

Cursor

Cursor can now work autonomously over longer periods to complete more complex tasks without constant human intervention.

Cursor can now work autonomously over longer horizons to complete larger, more complex tasks. Long-running agents plan first and finish more difficult work without human intervention. | In research preview and internal testing, long-running agents completed work that was previously too hard for regular agents. This led to larger, more complete PRs with fewer obvious follow-ups. | Cursor's long-running agent is… Cursor can now work autonomously over longer horizons to complete larger, more complex tasks.

We’ve published a new preprint showing that a type of particle interaction many physicists expected would not occur can in fact arise under specific conditions. The work focuses on gluons, the particles that carry the strong nuclear force.… The preprint shows that this conclusion is too strong. The standard argument assumes generic particle momenta, meaning the directions and energies are not in any special alignment. We identify a…
