Last week, the AI code editor with the fastest revenue growth in the category shipped a product that is not a code editor.

Cursor 3, built from scratch under the codename Glass, makes an agent management console the primary interface and pushes the traditional IDE to a secondary surface, writes Janakiram MSV in today’s lead story.

For a few months now, coding tools have become second-class citizens to AI models. Cursor 3 is what happens when a company generating $2 billion in annualized revenue agrees with that thesis and bets its entire product surface on it. The shift mirrors a transition that infrastructure engineers have already lived through.
