Cursor agent swarm shows cheaper models code when frontier models plan
Cursor demonstrates that its updated agent swarm, which separates frontier planning models from cheaper worker models, can fully rebuild SQLite in Rust from documentation alone without internet access.
Cursor asked its upgraded agent swarm and its predecessor to rebuild SQLite in Rust using only the documentation, with no source code or internet access. Every configuration of the new system, which separates planners from workers, eventually scored 100 percent on the test suite.
The old swarm choked on merge conflicts of its own making. The article Cursor's agent swarm suggests cheaper models can handle most coding when frontier models plan the work appeared first on The Decoder.
