now that i can talk about it, i had early access to composer 2 and have been using it for the past few days. quick thoughts:
- feels very close to gpt-5.4-high at lesser price
- follows instructions really well
- holds structure over long threads without much context rot
- very noticeable leap from composer-1.5 but also codex 5.3 and opus 4.6 low/medium in reasoning + code quality
- "fast" genuinely fast (2-3x faster than the non-fast variant), beats opus-4.6-high on code throughput
cursor cooked. absolutely banger launch that's gonna save people serious money
