Cursor beats Claude Code on Opus 4.7
A third-party harness with no privileged access outperforms Anthropic's own Claude Code when running Anthropic's Opus 4.7 model.
Cursor Outperforms Anthropic on Anthropic's Own Model
Cursor extracts more performance from Opus 4.7 than Anthropic's own Claude Code does — despite having no privileged access. The harness is a different discipline from model training, and Cursor's years of multi-model developer experience give it an edge the labs can't easily replicate.
GPT 5.5 also outperforms in Cursor
GPT 5.5 reportedly performs better inside Cursor than inside OpenAI's own Codex environment.
