Summary: Cursor adds GPT-5.2 and agent thought tracking

Why It Matters: The update shows Cursor moving toward more advanced AI models and giving users more visibility into how the AI "thinks" before it writes code.

What Changed:

  • Updated the AI model version from GPT-5 to GPT-5.2 in the interface.
  • Added a "thought" tracking feature that shows the agent's internal steps, like searching best practices and reading specific files.
  • Updated the code demo to show a new state variable for active tabs in a React component.
  • Refined the "Complete codebase understanding" section to show the agent actively searching and choosing models.
