Hey there! Could I get some clarity on the Tab Usage metrics vs the Lines of Code Accepted metrics? They seem to be quite separate and was wondering why that was. ---

Hi, thanks for the question. These metrics are entirely separate from each other as they refer to different features in the editor. Cursor Tab is our code prediction model that shows AI suggestions for code as the user is typing it. The metric for Tab shows you how many of those suggestions the user has accepted. The Lines of Code Accepted metric is an average for how many lines of code the AI has written and applied to a user’s file. This can be through chat or composer, where the user has ‘applied’ a recommended change to their file, or through the CMD+K feature, where the user asked for a change and accepted it. Hopefully, this clears things up for you, but do let me know if you have any further questions. ---
