You can now write chat bot logic once, and deploy across Slack, GitHub, Teams, and Discord.
We're open-sourcing a new Chat SDK, a unified TypeScript library to build for many chat platforms with a single codebase.
Now available in public beta.

Cursor recently shipped Composer, its agentic coding model, and shared that the agent can be ~4× faster! We worked with the Cursor team, particularly @leerob, to understand how the system is put together, and what drives the speed.
A coding agent is a system that can take a task, explore a repo, edit multiple files, and iterate until the build and tests pass.
Inside Cursor, a router first picks a suitable coding model (including Composer) to handle the request.
The system then starts a loop: retrieve the most relevant code (context retrieval), use tools to open and edit files, and run commands in a sandbox. Once the tests pass, the task is complete.
Cursor uses three key techniques to keep this loop fast:
1. Mixture-of-Expert (MoE): A sparse MoE architecture activates only a subset of model weights per token.
2. Speculative decoding: a smaller model drafts multiple tokens at once, then a larger model verifies them in parallel to reduce latency.
3. Context compaction: summarize older steps and keep only the active working set so the prompt stays relevant and short as iterations continue.
