An Anthropic engineer (@Angaisb) publicly questioned whether a product can brag about itself without using its own models, in an apparent jab at a company relying on Anthropic's models. The referenced tweet from a Cursor engineer notes that all bots will be powered by Opus 5.5 and can spawn cloud agents running whichever Cursor models are available — a subtle exchange about the model-dependency dynamics between AI coding companies.
