Andrej Karpathy Praises Cursor Over GitHub Copilot [Video]

Cursor is currently the hottest AI developer tool. And its prowess is further reinforced when Andrej Karpathy decides to praise it. In a recent post on X, Karpathy said that he is trying Cursor along with Claude Sonnet 3.5 instead of GitHub Copilot and said it’s a net win.

“Just empirically, over the last few days most of my ‘programming’ is now writing English (prompting and then reviewing and editing the generated diffs), and doing a bit of ‘half-coding’ where you write the first chunk of the code you’d like, maybe comment it a bit so the LLM knows what the plan is, and then tab tab tab through completions,” said Karpathy, adding that he is able to do coding a lot faster with the help of the tool.
