    Cursor raises $60M Series A from Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive Capital and OpenAI

    Cursor raised a $60M Series A from Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive Capital, OpenAI, Jeff Dean, Noam Brown, and founders of Stripe, GitHub, Ramp, Perplexity and OpenAI. The AI coding tool says it has grown to more than 40,000 users, including startups, research institutions and large enterprises, and describes internal systems for next-edit prediction, retrieval across billions of files and speculative-inference code rewriting.

    Why it matters: Cursor's $60M Series A announcement also discloses its user base has grown past 40,000 and names the investors backing its AI coding tool.

    Cursor analyzes Llama-2-70B inference cost and latency against GPT-3.5

    Cursor measured Llama-2-70B inference on 2 80-GB A100 GPUs and found it over 3x cheaper than GPT-3.5 for prompt tokens but far more expensive for generated tokens at small batch sizes. Prompt processing costs about $0.00042 per 1K tokens versus GPT-3.5's $0.0015, while generation reaches $0.066 per 1K tokens at batch size 1 and only approaches GPT-3.5 pricing at large batches that push time to first token to several seconds. Cursor recommends open-source models for prompt-heavy tasks like classification and reranking, and closed-source APIs for generation-heavy workloads.

    Why it matters: Cursor's measured cost and latency data shows when self-hosting Llama-2-70B beats GPT-3.5 and when it does not, offering a reusable framework for open-source model serving decisions.
