you're missing that open ai and anthropic are finetuning their models for their coding agents, i.e. using rl and annotating datasets and optimizing for them with directly learnable parameters. Cursor is just able to use whatever foundational model apis are available (not sure if or when labs might give programmatic access to coding agents). I'm sure they are trying to train OSS models but those fall way short performance wise of proprietary ones.
