> so the theory is Cursor wins that as the "model agnostic"

But there are many model agnostic harnesses out there: OpenCode, Roo, Cline, and many others. And even Claude Code can be setup to use non-Anthropic models.

As a Cursor user, I don't have to have thought about the providers behind the compute - I get name brand Claude, or cheap Kimi, or Grok, and it's all got roughly the same agentic experience, and only one bill. Enterprises love this.

You get all that at the price of Cursor. Enterprises do love to spend money that's true.

Open routers prices are no different than cursors and you can use any harness you want.

Big brain, small brains? Hmmm

Cursor has BYOK support too. I think it also has Bedrock support.

Yes, but it requires a subscription to use it.

Too much friction though, with Cursor its out of the box.
