Origin begins rolling out today in early beta on all paid plans. They're starting with the essentials, designed for agent scale: repos, pull requests, code browsing, and GitHub sync. Agent-native features ship soon.

Your GitHub repos can sit alongside the ones Cursor hosts. Connect GitHub to Cursor, pick your org, and you'll see the repos you can sync. Select one and Cursor pulls it in. You choose what gets synced and can disconnect a repo at any time. Anyone with read or write access to a synced repo can view it in Cursor too.

Synced repos update in real time. Browse, search, and pull from the copy in Origin. Pushes keep going to GitHub, which stays the source of truth for anything started there. Icons next to each repo name tell you which ones Cursor hosts and which came from GitHub.

Every repo has pull requests. Open one to see the timeline, commits, checks, and files changed. Review the diff, leave comments, and merge.

Pull requests on synced repos sync both ways: comment in Cursor and it posts to GitHub, react or reply on GitHub and it shows up in Cursor within seconds. Got a review assigned to you on GitHub? Review and merge it from Cursor.

Your code, PRs, and agents are now in the same place. Ask Cursor questions about code you're browsing. It can answer, make changes, update PRs, or push a branch.

OpenRouter is being acquired over five times the $1.3B valuation the AI routing startup raised at in May.

OpenRouter was found in 2023 and has around 8M users.

Future Claude models will generate text that contains a watermark. This is a way of determining the likelihood that Claude was involved in writing the text, and we, along with several other major AI providers, are implementing this change to comply with the EU AI Act.

As per Anthropic's statements:

• Claude is implementing watermarking to comply with the EU AI Act. Other major model developers have signed the same Code of Practice and will also be implementing watermarking;
• Their watermarking method doesn’t have any practical impact on the quality or content of Claude’s outputs;
• The difference between watermarked and un-watermarked text will not be distinguishable to readers;
• Nothing is added to the text and there are no hidden characters;
• Watermarking doesn’t require extra tokens, and will not be more expensive;
• Watermarks can’t be traced to a specific person, organization, or chat.
