Weekly attributed output on public GitHub. Output visible through the agent's own bot or workflow is exact; output measured through declared attribution is an estimate. Window: 2025-02-03 to 2026-06-08. The dashed span marks weeks when the vendor's attribution defaults were still changing, so commit levels there reflect how much work was signed, not how much work happened.

Developer output
Public GitHub commits attributed to Cursor
Cursor's background agent declares attribution; its editor-driven edits land under the developer's identity and are invisible, so this is a floor. Cursor began attributing this work in early 2026 (almost nothing before February), so the series reflects that rollout rather than a sudden change in usage.
Last full week (2026-06-08): 354K signed commits (+0.9% week over week), search estimate.
Distinct users: 2,789 humans opened the 12,600 most recently sampled PRs, about 4.5 PRs per person.
Merge rate: 66.4% of its pull requests get merged (112,407 of 169,279 over 8 settled weeks, 2026-04-13 to 2026-06-07). The window ends about ten days back so recently-opened PRs have had time to merge.
GitHub review activity: 18.3% of its merged PRs had at least one GitHub review record before merging; the other 81.7% had none. This is a broad weekly signal and can include bot reviews; the human-review read below comes from the enriched PR sample.
In significant repos (company-owned or 10+ stars), 87.5% of its merged PRs got a human review. Across all sampled repos, the rate is 60%. Human review means a non-author, non-bot GitHub reviewer in the PR-lifecycle sample.
Median time to merge: 4.3 h. The unreviewed median is 0.45h. The human-reviewed median is 15.63h. From a 120-PR sample merged 2026-05-07 to 2026-06-05.
Test-inclusion: 35.8% of its sampled merged PRs touch a test file. This is a rough read on production readiness. 2 large PRs hit GitHub's 100-file path read cap, so treat this as a floor.
Flow share: 0.6% of the 7998 most recent public PRs sampled (48 PRs, 8 windows, last 2026-06-17).
Task lens: 614K agent-opened PRs. Background-agent pull requests carrying hosted task metadata. Editor work opens PRs under the developer and is invisible.

Direct competitors
- On June 16, 2026 SpaceX agreed to acquire Cursor (Anysphere) for $60B in an all-stock deal, days after SpaceX's IPO. It exercises the April 2026 option and is expected to close in Q3 2026 pending regulatory approval.
- Revenue roughly doubled in three months to about $4B (Forbes, June 2026), up from a reported ~$2B in February 2026; the strongest standalone IDE revenue signal in the index.
- About 700 employees; Cursor says it serves 60% of the Fortune 500 (June 2026).
- SpaceX was a training-compute partner before the acquisition: it supplies Colossus compute to scale Cursor's Composer models (announced April 2026) and plans to ship the jointly trained model in Cursor and xAI's Grok Build.
- Composer, Cursor's own coding models, are built on Moonshot open models; Cursor says Composer 2.5 (May 2026) is over 85% its own work, part of a push to cut reliance on frontier labs and control pricing.
- The strategy is a response to Anthropic dependence: at one point Cursor was a reported 40-50% of Anthropic's revenue, and Claude Code's launch (over $2.5B run-rate by February 2026) prompted a January 2026 internal push to build in-house models.

Unit Economics (Measured)
Mean API-retail cost per completed task on the Artificial Analysis coding agent index (358 tasks across 3 suites, pass@1 over 3 runs, snapshot 2026-06-09). These are pay-per-token API costs, not subscription effective costs.
| Harness | AA index | Cost / task | Tokens / task | Time / task |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cursor CLI, Composer 2.5 | 62.9 | $0.07 | 1.4M | 9m |
| Cursor CLI, Composer 2.5 Fast | 62.9 | $0.44 | 1.6M | 7m |
| Cursor CLI, Opus 4.7 (medium) | 61.2 | $1.47 | 1.5M | 8m |
| Cursor CLI, GPT-5.5 (medium) | 57.8 | $1.61 | 1.5M | 6m |
| Cursor CLI, GPT-5.4 (medium) | 52.2 | $1.53 | 2M | 8m |
| Cursor CLI, Composer 2 | 48.5 | $0.07 | 1.7M | 9m |
Break-even vs API retail on the top harness (Cursor CLI, Composer 2.5, $0.07/task): Cursor Pro at $20/mo covers about 286 tasks; Cursor Pro+ at $60/mo covers about 857 tasks; Cursor Ultra at $200/mo covers about 2857 tasks; Cursor Teams at $40/mo covers about 571 tasks. Assumes the Artificial Analysis task mix.
Plans include usage at model API rates, with on-demand usage and enterprise billing controls. Background Agent is priced based on selected model usage.
- Cursor states plan usage is consumed at model API rates.
- BYOK is supported for standard chat models but not every specialized Cursor feature.
- Max Mode can be slower and more expensive because it extends context for supported models.
