Architecture comparison
DevTools
Cursor runs a multi-cloud, event-driven architecture with most CPU/backend services on AWS, major GPU inference clusters on Azure plus newer GPU clouds, and specialized AI workloads on GCP, fronted by stateless gateways, queues, and GPU worker fleets for LLM inference and agents.[6][10] Workspace data and embeddings flow through turbopuffer, Pinecone, and Kafka-compatible streams, with Temporal-based orchestration for agent workflows and large multi-GPU clusters (including Fireworks AI-hosted proprietary fine-tuned models) serving code-focused LLMs.[4][6][7][8][10]
DevTools
Cloud IDE whose Agent is built primarily on Anthropic Claude.
