Cursor beats Claude Code on Opus 4.7

Cursor Outperforms Anthropic on Anthropic's Own Model

Cursor Runs Claude Better Than Claude Code | Grok 4.3 Under… · May 1, 2026 Technology

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.

Anthropic train Opus 4.7, so they know exactly how the model thinks, they know what it's good at, what context window tricks make it work as well as it could. They ship Claude Code — their own harness — and then Cursor, a third party with no privileged access, they're able to extract more performance from Opus than Anthropic does.

GPT 5.5 reportedly performs better inside Cursor than inside OpenAI's own Codex environment.

It's incredibly reckless in this world to not learn AI.

I opened up a notepad and I blurted out on the ChatGPT voice mode my whole idea. So I was given a bunch of code and I was just copying it back and forth into notepad.

You need to initially bet on yourself, think that, okay, cool, I'm going to have 100,000 users building my tool. And you want to have the frameworks behind that and you might not know them, but when you tell Cursor to think that way, it will change its mindset in the way it prompts you to do things.

The Marketing Playbook That Grew My App…

If I want to create a new tool, it takes less than 5 minutes for me to do it because I already have all these tools. I can just tell Cursor, okay, look at these free tools. Now in a similar way, create this new free tool.

The Marketing Playbook That Grew My App…

If you know your users are falling off during onboarding, then you know which screens aren't selling your app well enough. If you track all of the feature clicks on your app, you can identify your app's most compelling value proposition and then communicate that in your marketing.

For these tool-focused apps like PuffCount, ads don't really work because you're not expecting the user to be on your app for a super long period of time.

In my first games, I monetized through ads because people were on the app all the time. They were playing the game a lot. So the ads worked well for Grid and Wordle.
