Cursor Integrates DeepSeek V3 for High-Speed Code Reasoning

DeepSeek V3 has been added as a selectable model within Cursor, providing a low-latency and cost-effective alternative for indexing and chat. The model is specifically optimized for software development tasks and serves as a fast alternative for large-scale codebase analysis.

Why it matters: Builders have access to more performant and affordable models for intensive background repository reasoning.
