CursorBench — Cursor's coding benchmark for agentic software engineering and long-horizon code tasks. This page ranks models that have published a CursorBench score, with live API token prices on the same row.
This page is the CursorBench leaderboard. Models are sorted by CursorBench, with input and output token prices on the same row so you can weigh score against cost. Official boards often omit price; that comparison is the point of this index.
Official eval pages own the methodology. This page keeps the published CursorBench score next to live API $/M so you can pick a production SKU, not only a trophy number.
