Lee Robinson on the Future of Cursor
AI Engineer · youtube · 2026-07-16
In this interview, Lee Robinson discusses Cursor's development direction and his understanding of **AI-native software development**. The core message: Cursor isn't just stuffing a model into an editor; it's restructuring software development around "model research + model behavior + product workflows." The **Recursive Model Improvement** in the title points to a continuous loop of iterating on model capabilities and product experience. He also introduced his background: currently leading ML / Model Behavior at Cursor, formerly at Vercel.
