Agree that Sonnet 4.5 is an excellent model. Would be curious to hear your experience using Composer though, it's quite good.

I'll try it out! I haven't yet - just generally conveying my opinion that I personally weigh "better model" much more important than speed, assuming some "fast enough"

Also, didn't realize you worked at Cursor - I'm a fan of your work - they're lucky to have you!

Thanks! Yeah, been working here for 9 months now. Fascinated byt agentic coding both as a researcher and user.

Totally agree that "smart model" is the table stakes for usefulness these days.

Wow, no kidding. It is quite good!
