To be fair, Cursor did a lot more than just middleman to other models. Apart from all the IDE integration features, it also compiled a vector database of your entire codebase for much faster/better context fetching. AFAIK OpenAI and Anthropic still don’t have feature parity on this with their native harnesses.

They had no moat and were eaten alive that’s my point
