What Cursor changed

• The main download button now defaults to "Download for macOS" instead of "Download for Linux."
• The "Auto Suggested" model setting in the interface demo now defaults to "Auto" instead of "Grok 4.7."
• Several interactive demo text fragments were simplified or removed, including detailed "Thought" logs and specific agent status updates.
• The cookie consent banner and privacy preference center were removed from the page footer.

The primary call-to-action has shifted from Linux to macOS, suggesting a change in their target user priority or a response to where most of their traffic originates.

• Added a new changelog entry for "Remote control for local agents" (Oct 6, 2026).
• Updated the interactive demo to show a new "Build Landing Page" workflow featuring serif-based design and performance optimizations (280ms first paint).
• Added a historical timeline of research milestones including "Secure codebase indexing" and "Shadow workspaces."
• Removed the "Start from scratch, without a repo" changelog entry from the recent highlights list.
• Updated the model selection interface to show Grok 4.7 as the active/suggested model.

Cursor is expanding how its AI agents interact with local environments, moving beyond simple code edits to more complex, remote-controlled workflows. This signals a shift toward more autonomous, system-level capabilities.

• Added a new "Mission Control Interface" feature demo that creates a grid view of open windows.
• Updated the interactive demo to show the AI planning a "Mission Control" interface using spring-based animations.
• Changed the default suggested model in the demo from Grok 4.7 to GPT-5.6 Sol.
• Replaced the historical research timeline (2022-2026) with specific technical implementation details for window management.
• Updated the agent status indicators to show "Planning" and "Read" states with specific time durations.

Cursor is expanding its AI agent capabilities from simple code generation to complex UI/UX implementation tasks, specifically targeting macOS-style system features.
