1. Cursor Speeds Up Cloud Agents With Prebuilt Environments

Cursor. Cursor added a builds feature to its Cloud Agents that prepares a ready environment ahead of time, cloning repositories, installing dependencies, and running the project’s install script before work begins. Cursor says the change delivers roughly 3x faster time to first token, so agents start producing output sooner. The dashboard now tracks build history so teams can inspect and reuse prepared environments. Source
