Notable by the frontier-lab rule only if SpaceX ownership counts: Cursor says it was acquired by SpaceX (post dated 2026-08-14) after an April partnership with SpaceXAI, and its footer still reads Anysphere, Inc. — kept a separate company id; reviewer should decide whether notable applies. releaseDate null: no launch date found on a Cursor page. Models list omits GPT-6-family models; not mapped: Composer 2.5, Kimi K2.7 Code, GPT-5.x Codex variants and others absent from models.json. Not Notable: Anysphere is not one of the five frontier labs, whatever its ownership, and Cursor is not on the Terminal-Bench leaderboard.
