Note this applies to all first-party models in Cursor, including Composer 2.5 and future Grok models. We’re also working hard at making your Grok Bot usage last longer! More on that soon.

how to make your grok bot plan last longer: 1) use an event trigger when you can. slack, github, a reaction. the bot only runs when something actually happened (a cron wakes it even if nothing changed) 2) instruct the bot to notify you as soon as it can’t make further progress or is stalled. this way you as human can help putting it on the right course again 3) connectors > browser when possible! clicking around a site is a pile of screenshots and steps. a connector gives you the same data in one call, and it's so much nicer/faster/smoother 4) keep skills tight, but put in the details that actually steer the run. too vague and the bot might wander, retry, and costs more than a slightly longer one. too specific and you have to make sure its really correct 5) don't do the coding in the bot chat! kick a cloud agent at the repo, or ask it to use cursor/grok build cli to do it 6) delete one-shot watches when they're not needed anymore (grok bot will remind you about this)

Microsoft's MAI-Image-2.6-Preview lands at #1 on the Artificial Analysis Image Editing Leaderboard and takes #2 in Text to Image MAI-Image-2.6 is the newest model in Microsoft AI's MAI-Image family, announced August 10. Microsoft highlights stronger text rendering, better portraits and 3D imagery, and more polished commercial and photorealistic outputs. Like the MAI-Image-2.5 family, it handles both text to image generation and image editing. In the Artificial Analysis Image Arena, MAI-Image-2.6-Preview debuts at #1 on the Image Editing Leaderboard, ahead of Microsoft's own MAI-Image-2.5-Pro, Reve 2.1, and OpenAI's GPT Image 2, and giving Microsoft the top two spots on the board. In Text to Image it takes #2, behind only OpenAI's GPT Image 2 and ahead of Reve 2.1. On our refreshed Text to Image taxonomy, MAI-Image-2.6-Preview takes the top spot on 5 of the 19 category leaderboards (Material, Knowledge, Frontier, Retail & Ecommerce, and Marketing & Advertising), ahead of GPT Image 2, which leads every other category. MAI-Image-2.6 extends a rapid run of strong image releases from Microsoft AI. MAI-Image-2.5 debuted at #2 in Text to Image in June. MAI-Image-2.5-Pro, launched July 23, took #1 in Image Editing when we published our results last week. MAI-Image-2.6 now takes that top spot from its own sibling, and sits at #2 in Text to Image against MAI-Image-2.5-Pro's #8. MAI-Image-2.6 is available in the MAI Playground and in Private Preview on Microsoft Foundry. Congratulations to @MicrosoftAI on the release!
