Composer 2.5 (also listed as Composer 2.5 fast) is a coding model built by Cursor, an applied research team that also makes the Cursor AI code editor and agent platform. It is part of Cursor's Composer model line; the vendor's site lists a technical report on Composer 2 among its recent highlights.
According to a YouTube creator (Matthew Berman), it is Cursor's homegrown, inexpensive coding model, and Cursor sub-agents use it for easier tasks even when a frontier model is selected, which lowers overall cost. The provided pages do not give benchmark figures, context length or exact release date for 2.5.
It is accessed only inside Cursor products (editor, agents), not as a downloadable model. Cursor's pricing page describes tiered plans with usage allowances, plus Teams and Enterprise options, and notes that third-party models are billed separately by usage. The pricing page text provided appears garbled and mixes in unrelated plan details, so Composer-specific pricing could not be confirmed.

Mentioned as missing from the DeepSWE charts. The creator says it is probably the best model on the planet for price-to-performance and points to his separate video on it.
Cursor's in-house coding model built on Moonshot's Kimi K2.5, scoring about 64% on CursorBench at roughly 55 cents per task, about 1.5 points behind Opus 4.7 Max at a twentieth of the cost. Priced at $0.50/M input and $2.50/M output, available only in Cursor, and trained with 25x more synthetic tasks than Composer 2.
Cursor's coding model, near Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5 on benchmarks at under a dollar per task.
