I’m completely non-technical. Here are some behaviors I’ve had in the PAST with Cursor:
As conversations get longer the context gets muddied and becomes impossible and the model becomes significantly worse. Instructions are ignored and creating a new chat is the only way to continue.
Here is my experience after Sonnet4 and recent updates:
The longer a conversation goes on, the more refined the model’s understanding of the codebase gets. It becomes BETTER. Creating a new chat often leads to that important “understanding” being lost. This is the complete opposite of what I experienced before. While code quality often isn’t perfect, Cursor’s agent-management of the context window has become stellar.
Just wanted to share since now I can effectively do the things I want to in Cursor. I was struggling for months before and now I’m actually able to implement features and see my codebase work how I want it to. Thank you!
Appreciate the love - it’s great to know our improvements and updates are genuinely improving the workflow of people on all levels of technical background!
It is absolutely due to the model - less hallucinations, etc.
But you’re missing the key factor and its that Cursor Agent provides the dynamic context window and tooling for the model. I have a Claude app plan as well and recently downgraded because Cursor’s context window and tooling management helps me get things done.
TLDR Model plays a large part but its Cursor that makes the difference for me!
technical or not 2jfs904judsw20600jik, from an AI dork on the other side, it is heavily noticed on this end too. clear step up - the Auto function particularly has gotten stronger.
