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.

Rust-native data and AI platform that runs your Spark code faster
Run existing Spark SQL and DataFrame code through Spark Connect with no rewrites; migrate by swapping the remote URL, and verify readiness with the free scanner.
Sail removes JVM startup, GC pauses, and memory tuning, delivering fast startup and a stateless runtime that can scale to zero.
Prepare data for language, vision, and physical AI using Python libraries for embeddings, model scoring, and multimodal processing at engine speed.
First-class Delta Lake and Iceberg support with deployment in your own cloud account, so data files stay under your control.
