TaglineWire Cursor's full coding-agent runtime into your own apps, scripts, and CI/CD pipelines with a few lines of TypeScript.Blazing-fast, pay-as-you-go inference API for open-source LLMs and multimodal models, now plugged directly into the Hugging Face ecosystem.Autonomous AI agent that actually finishes tasks.Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly.

PricingToken-based; requires Cursor plan (Pro from $20/mo). Composer 2 at $0.50/$2.50 per M tokens (in/out); fast variant $1.50/$7.50 per M tokens.Free $5 credit on signup, then pay-as-you-go from $0.06/M tokensFree tier + $39-$199/moPart of Claude Pro/Max/Team plans
Best forEngineering teams who already use Cursor and want to embed its coding-agent runtime into CI/CD pipelines, backend services, or internal developer tools without building agent infrastructure from scratch.Backend developers and ML engineers who want the cheapest reliable inference for open-weight LLMs in production, especially those already living inside the Hugging Face ecosystem.People who want to hand off tasks entirely — trip planning, research, spreadsheet building.Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.
Strengths
  • Same runtime as the Cursor IDE — no reinventing sandboxing, context management, or model routing
  • Three execution modes: local machine, Cursor cloud VMs (isolated per-agent), or self-hosted workers for air-gapped teams
  • Cloud agents are durable — keep running even if your laptop sleeps or connection drops, and can open PRs automatically on finish
  • Full harness included: codebase indexing, MCP servers, skills, hooks, and multi-agent delegation via subagents
  • Visible in Cursor's Agents Window — programmatic runs can be inspected or taken over manually in the IDE
  • Among the cheapest per-token rates for open-source models — consistently undercuts Together AI and Fireworks on small models
  • OpenAI-compatible API means zero migration headache from existing stacks
  • Now a first-class Hugging Face Inference Provider, so HF-native workflows (SDKs, Playground, agent harnesses) get DeepInfra with a one-line swap
  • Runs on H100/A100 and NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs with auto-scaling and 99.982% uptime SLA on dedicated tier
  • Supports LoRA adapter deployments and private custom model hosting, not just public models
  • General-purpose agent — research, book, build, analyze
  • Parallel task execution
  • Web browsing + file creation + coding
  • Runs locally, edits your actual files
  • Strong on large codebases with 1M context
  • Great at multi-step tasks
Weaknesses
  • TypeScript-only SDK — no official Python or other language bindings at launch
  • Public beta status means API surface and pricing can shift without much notice (Cursor has a track record of surprise pricing changes)
  • Cloud VM costs layer on top of subscription credits, making cost estimation non-trivial at scale
  • Primarily developer/API-first — no meaningful consumer-facing product or chat UI to speak of
  • Model breadth (77 tracked) lags behind aggregators like OpenRouter or Replicate for niche or newly-released models
  • No free tier beyond the $5 signup credit; requires a card or prepayment to continue
  • Still hit-or-miss on complex multi-hour tasks
  • Can burn credits fast
  • Terminal-based — learning curve
  • Can't be used without Claude subscription
Kai's verdictIf your team is already in the Cursor ecosystem, this is a genuinely compelling way to turn ad-hoc AI coding sessions into durable, automated workflows — but the beta label and Cursor's history with opaque pricing mean you'll want to set hard budget guardrails before going to production. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)DeepInfra is the quiet workhorse of the inference API space — serious price performance on H100s, a genuinely clean OpenAI-compatible API, and now a native HF provider makes it a strong default choice for any team running open-source models at scale. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.
