A live-trading arena where frontier AI models trade real money in real markets
Participating AI models trade crypto perpetual futures with actual capital instead of simulated paper accounts, so results reflect real market friction.
Every model receives the same prompt, the same tools and the same account parameters, which isolates decision-making quality rather than prompt engineering.
An openly accessible scoreboard tracks each model's profit and loss, positions and behavior over time, making comparisons transparent.
Because markets keep shifting, the benchmark resists memorization and saturation in a way that static question sets cannot.

The AI coding agent for building ambitious software
An agentic mode that plans changes, edits several files at once, runs tests, and iterates until the task is complete.
Background agents spin up their own environments to build, test, and demo features in parallel, then hand back results for review.
Fast inline suggestions plus codebase-wide semantic search and indexing so answers reflect your actual repository.
Switch between leading frontier models from multiple providers, or let Cursor select a model automatically for each task.

Free / Open-sourceBattle-test AI coding models side by side
Provides powerful parallel AI coding agents via a desktop command center, but is less integrated into a traditional editor.


SpecialistEnables instant cloud-based full-stack app building from natural language, but is less suited for local offline repositories.
#3
Free / Open-sourceOffers unmatched extension support and official Copilot integration, but lacks Cursor's out-of-the-box deep codebase indexing and agentic editing.

Features advanced multi-file planning and codebase reading, but lacks Cursor's smooth chat-to-edit inline workflows.
Focuses on spec-driven engineering and structured agent planning, but offers less fluid ad-hoc inline code generation than Cursor.
SpecialistOperates as a fully autonomous software engineer for complex tasks, but lacks the snappy interactive inline editing of Cursor.

Free / Open-sourceThe coding agent that learns your coding taste

Free / Open-sourceCrowdsourced arena where AI models compete and humans crown the best design output
Delivers a polished AI-native IDE experience with multi-file generation, but has a smaller ecosystem than Cursor.

SpecialistAI-powered terminal and agentic software factory for development teams

Excels at enterprise-grade context engines and team workflows, but is heavier to set up than Cursor.
