AI Tools

Cursor just did something most AI companies talk about but rarely execute: they built their own model instead of wrapping someone else’s. Composer 2 is not another GPT wrapper. It is a code-only model trained from scratch on long-horizon coding tasks, designed to live inside Cursor’s editor and handle the kind of multi-file, multi-step work that makes developers lose entire afternoons. What Is Composer 2? Composer 2 is Cursor’s proprietary AI coding model, purpose-built for agentic coding workflows. Think of it as a developer who can hold 200,000 tokens of context, navigate your entire codebase, run terminal commands, and make edits across multiple files — all without losing the plot. ...

The open-source AI community just got its most powerful weapon yet. GLM-5, a 744-billion parameter model released under the MIT license, is not just competitive with proprietary models — it is beating some of them on benchmarks that matter. Built by Zhipu AI (Z.AI) and trained entirely on Huawei Ascend chips without a single NVIDIA GPU, GLM-5 is as much a geopolitical statement as it is a technical achievement. But for developers and startups, the only question that matters is: can it actually do the work? ...

Here is a stat that explains everything about why Spacelift Intelligence exists: according to Google Cloud’s 2025 DORA report, 90% of developers now use AI tools, with a quarter of their working time spent alongside AI assistants. Developers are shipping faster than ever. Infrastructure teams are drowning. Spacelift Intelligence, launched March 18, 2026, is an AI layer built directly into Spacelift’s infrastructure orchestration platform. It lets platform engineers interact with their infrastructure through natural language — provisioning resources, diagnosing issues, creating policies, and managing drift without writing a single line of Terraform. ...
