Congrats on the release! I've been using Cursor but somewhat annoyed with the regular IDE affordances not working quite right (absence of pylance), and would love to go back to VSCode.

I'd love it if you lean into pooled model usage, rather than it being an addon. IMO it is the biggest win for Cursor usage - a reasonable num of LLM calls per month, so I never have to do token math or fiddle with api keys. Of course, it is available as a feature already (I'm gonna try Continue) but the difference in response time b/w Cursor and Github copilot (who don't seem to care) is drastic.

Excited to hear how it goes for you!

Our Models Add-On is intended to give the same flat monthly fee as you’re accustomed to with other products. What did you mean by leaning into pooled, just making it more front-and-center?

[thelastbender12]

Yep, exactly that. IMO agent workflows, MCP and tool usage bits are all promising, but the more common usage of LLMs in coding is still chat. AI extensions in editors just make it simple to supply context, and apply diffs.

An addon makes it seem like an afterthought, which I'm certain you are not going for! But still making is as seamless as possible would be great. For ex, response time for Claude in Cursor is much better than even the Claude web app for me.

This is a good callout, we'll definitely work to improve our messaging

Quick question, what do you mean by new pylance in cursor?

It's basically VSCode - I just ported all extensions in Cursor settings, it installed existing VSCode extensions including Pylance and it just works...

[thelastbender12]

I meant Pylance isn't legally available in Cursor (Vscode license restriction, which is justified). It broke very frequently, so I switched to Based pyright, which works but just not as well.
