Cursor 3: the IDE becomes a control room for parallel agents
In one sentence Anysphere ships Cursor 3 (codename Glass): a new Agents Window with parallel agents across local, worktrees, cloud, and remote SSH. Built for developers who orchestrate agents rather than write every line.
Cursor started life as "VS Code with AI inside". The basic idea: you write code, AI completes, AI helps. On April 2, 2026 Cursor 3 ships, and Anysphere makes a different bet: the 2026 developer will not write most of the code. They will orchestrate AI agents. The developer becomes the manager of a small team of agents.
Cursor 3 introduces the Agents Window: a sidebar that shows all your agents running concurrently. One agent is debugging locally, a second runs in a worktree on another feature, a third is in the cloud doing CI/CD, a fourth on SSH on a remote server. You see them all at once, reassign work, step in when one needs help.
It keeps every capability of the previous IDE (autocomplete, refactoring, code review), but redefines the "way of working". Same price: $20/month for Pro, aligned with Windsurf.
