Why Cursor Is So Fast: Engineering Beats Model in Agent Systems (Four‑Layer Breakdown)

The article dissects Cursor's Agentic programming platform, revealing that performance gains stem from four engineering layers—architecture, inference, transport, and Agent loop—rather than merely larger models, and offers concrete optimization techniques and lessons for building fast, reliable cloud agents.
