Cursor released their "Composer" model today. I believe the name is a hat tip to the original name of their agent/multi-file editing mode.

Cursor Triple Backticks Stop Sequence
An LLM stop sequence is a sequence of tokens that tells the LLM to stop generating text. I previously wrote about stop sequences and prefilling responses with Claude.
Developing a Mental Model for using Models
I had an interesting realization today while doing a demo building a web app with Cursor. I was debugging an issue with an MCP server, trying to connect it to Cursor's MCP integration. The code I was using was buggy, and I'd never tried this before (attempting it live was probably a fool's errand...

I've been integrating Copilot into my workflow the past few days. From my understanding, it uses OpenAI's Codex model, which is part of the GPT-3 model series. I believe this also predates the chat models, gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-4. As someone who has been using Cursor for my personal work for...
Cursor Introduction
Cursor is VS Code with Cmd+K that opens a text box that can do text generation based on a prompt. When I created this post, I first typed insert hugo yaml markdown frontmatter
