There’s been lots of discussions about this in the Composer 3 request thread as well. Based on communication from earlier this year, I believe the original Composer 3 work went into Grok 4.5, but we definitely need a replacement for Composer 2.5 - and soon. GLM-5.3 Flash, Deepseek v4.1 Flash, and even Deepseek v4 Flash 0731 are all far more intelligent models at a similar (or even less) cost-per-task that diminish the value proposition of Cursor day-by-day. Grok 4.7 is also necessary to compete at the high end especially with the OpenAI departure in November.
A confirmation on if we’ll be getting a Composer 3 (i.e. an RL’d open-weight model) or a Grok “Lite” (i.e. smaller Grok model) would also be appreciated, as you’ve laid out. They mentioned in the Composer 3 request thread that they’ll “continue to release models of this size”, but everyone kind of already knew that.
