How Cursor Got the Best Tab-Completion Model

Cursor's code completion initially lagged behind Supermaven's Babble model, which boasted a massive context window and superior speed and accuracy thanks to its innovative edit-sequence-based training. However, Cursor acquired Supermaven, gaining Babble and leveraging its massive user data to solidify its leading position in code completion. This acquisition highlights the importance of AI model training methodologies and the crucial role of data scale in model performance.
