Anysphere has introduced Cursor 2.0, an update to the AI coding assistant that features the tool’s first coding model, called Composer, and an interface for working with many agents in parallel. Both Cursor 2.0 and Composer were introduced October 29 by the Cursor team at Anysphere. Cursor is a fork of Microsoft’s popular Visual Studio Code editor, downloadable at cursor.com for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Composer is a frontier model that is four times faster than similarly intelligent ag...| Cursor 2.0 adds coding model, UI for parallel agents | InfoWorld
GitHub is taking a major step toward redefining enterprise software development with the launch of Agent HQ, a platform that lets developers manage and orchestrate multiple AI coding agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others directly within the GitHub environment. The move suggests a new phase in enterprise AI adoption, as organizations look to govern, audit, and scale AI-driven coding within their existing DevOps workflows instead of using separate tools. The new platform introduces ...| Cursor 2.0 adds coding model, UI for parallel agents | InfoWorld
Over its more than 15 years in the wild, Google’s Go programming language has evolved from a curiosity for alpha geeks to the battle-tested programming language behind some of the world’s most important cloud-native software projects.

The Java virtual machine provides a high-performance, universal runtime for a wealth of popular languages beyond just Java. In this article, we’ll look at the characteristic strengths and common use cases of four of the most popular JVM languages: Kotlin, Scala, Groovy, and Clojure. Kotlin Kotlin is a modern language that has seen a groundswell of developer enthusiasm over the last few years. This popularity is thanks in large part to its highly expressive syntax, which includes object-orie...| Cursor 2.0 adds coding model, UI for parallel agents | InfoWorld
I don’t expect that many developers today fully appreciate the quiet glory that is REST and JSON. But then, most developers today have not been around the software business as long as I have. It’s only natural that we old timers have a clearer idea of how incredibly far the technology has come. I’ve been writing code long enough to remember when computers had 5¼-inch floppy drives and exactly zero network cards. Connectivity was a 2400 baudmodem talking to a local BBS via the plain o...| Cursor 2.0 adds coding model, UI for parallel agents | InfoWorld
The Eclipse Foundation has introduced ADL (Agent Definition Language) functionality to its LMOS (Language Models Operating System) AI project. The announcement came on October 28. The goal of Eclipse LMOS is to create an open platform where AI agents can be developed and integrated across networks and ecosystems, according to Eclipse. Built on standards like Kubernetes, LMOS is in production with Deutsche Telekom, one of the largest enterprise agentic AI deployments in Europe, Eclipse said.

TypeScript, Microsoft’s strongly typed JavaScript variant, has become the most-used language on GitHub, according to GitHub’s Octoverse 2025 report released on October 28. August 2025 marked the first time TypeScript emerged as the most-used language on GitHub, overtaking both JavaScript and Python, said the report. The rise of TypeScript illustrates the shift toward using typed languages, which can make agent-assisted coding more reliable in production, according to GitHub. Furthermore, ...| Cursor 2.0 adds coding model, UI for parallel agents | InfoWorld
Many developers haven’t yet crossed over to LLM-based code generation, whether it’s vibe coding, spec development, agentic engineering, or whatever your flavor may be. And if you’re not convinced, you’re probably not going to shell out real money for it just yet. Luckily, there are free and/or cheap ways to burn someone else’s GPUs to your own benefit. Generally, there is no real privacy guarantee for free-to-use models, so use them only for your tire-kicker or open-source projects....| Cursor 2.0 adds coding model, UI for parallel agents | InfoWorld
Help desks need help. But many of the agents coming to the rescue are chatbots in disguise. They claim to “resolve tickets” or “transform IT support,” but when you actually roll them out, most of these tools end up routing tickets, not resolving them. Remove their agent mask and they’re glorified intake forms with a friendlier UI. I’ve worked with dozens of enterprise IT teams who want something better, something real. Not a prototype, not a sandbox experiment. A production-ready ...| Cursor 2.0 adds coding model, UI for parallel agents | InfoWorld
For years, I’ve warned about the dangers of enterprises relying on a small group of dominant cloud providers such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. These platforms underpin the operations of many businesses worldwide, and each has a history of issues stemming from overdependence and centralization. However, cloud and AI technologies move so quickly that most enterprises prioritize adoption and optimization over potential vulnerabilities in their cloud strategies. AWS’s l...| Cursor 2.0 adds coding model, UI for parallel agents | InfoWorld

Java’s powerful and mature ecosystem has long been a top choice for enterprise applications. However, its traditional strengths have presented challenges in serverless environments, particularly concerning the performance penalty known as the cold start. My goal was to build high-throughput, event-driven systems on AWS Lambda without abandoning the Java ecosystem, which meant tackling the cold start problem head on. This is the story of how I tamed the cold start using a combination of mode...| Cursor 2.0 adds coding model, UI for parallel agents | InfoWorld
If you’re a software developer or architect, you might wonder if programming certifications are still worth the effort, especially in the era of rapid AI-driven evolution. The short answer is, it depends. “Certifications are shifting from a checkbox to a compass. They’re less about proving you memorized syntax and more about proving you can architect systems, instruct AI coding assistants, and solve problems end-to-end,” says Faizel Khan, lead AI engineer at Landing Point, an executiv...| Cursor 2.0 adds coding model, UI for parallel agents | InfoWorld
It’s clear your company needs to accelerate its AI adoption. What’s less clear is how to do that without it being a free-for-all. After all, your best employees aren’t waiting on you to establish standards; they’re already actively using AI.
