TaglineQwen's open-source GPU kernel library that squeezes 2–3× more speed out of linear attention on NVIDIA Hopper hardware — if you're lucky enough to own one.OpenAI's video model. Long clips, cinematic quality.Anthropic's CLI agent. Opus-powered, operates on your repo directly.Wire Cursor's full coding-agent runtime into your own apps, scripts, and CI/CD pipelines with a few lines of TypeScript.

PricingFree (MIT License, open-source)Included with ChatGPT Plus/ProPart of Claude Pro/Max/Team plansToken-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.
Best forML engineers and researchers running Qwen3.x linear-attention models on H100/H200 clusters who need to close the gap between theoretical GDN efficiency and actual hardware throughput.ChatGPT subscribers experimenting with cinematic shots.Developers who want an agent, not autocomplete. Large refactors, tests, docs.Engineering 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.
Strengths
  • 2–3× forward-pass and ~2× backward-pass speedup over FLA Triton kernels on Hopper GPUs
  • Gate-driven automatic intra-card context parallelism boosts SM utilization in long-sequence, small-head-count regimes without manual config
  • Hardware-friendly algebraic reformulation reduces Tensor Core, CUDA Core, and SFU overhead with no numerical precision loss
  • MIT licensed and fully open-source — drop it straight into Qwen3.x training and inference pipelines
  • Up to 20-sec clips at 1080p
  • Strong physics + scene composition
  • Storyboard feature for longer narratives
  • Remix existing videos
  • Runs locally, edits your actual files
  • Strong on large codebases with 1M context
  • Great at multi-step tasks
  • 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
Weaknesses
  • Extremely narrow hardware requirement: SM90+ only (H100/H200, DGX Spark) with CUDA 12.8+ and PyTorch 2.8+ — useless outside Hopper-class clusters
  • GDN/Qwen-specific: not a drop-in replacement for FlashAttention-style softmax kernels, and won't help you if you're not running linear-attention Qwen models
  • Very new, minimal community adoption or third-party validation yet
  • Stricter content policy than competitors
  • Hit-or-miss on complex motion
  • Text-in-video still struggles
  • Terminal-based — learning curve
  • Can't be used without Claude subscription
  • 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
Kai's verdictA genuinely impressive, laser-focused kernel optimization from the Qwen team — real speedups on real hardware — but its utility is gated behind Hopper GPUs and Qwen's GDN architecture, making it a niche power tool rather than a broadly useful library. (Verdict pending Phi's full review.)A-tier. Amazing when it works, frustrating when it doesn't. Runway still more reliable for pros.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.If 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.)
