Anysphere, the company behind one of the fastest-growing AI-powered code editors Cursor, has raised $2.3 billion in a late-stage funding round, pushing its valuation to $29.3 billion. 

The round was led by Accel and Coatue, with participation from Google, Nvidia, Thrive, Andreessen Horowitz, and DST. 

Anysphere also revealed that its annualised revenue has surpassed $1 billion, underscoring the rapid adoption of AI-assisted software development tools.

"This funding will allow us to invest deeply in our research and build Cursor’s next magical moments," it said in a [blog post](https://cursor.com/blog/series-d?ref=theleftshift.com). 

The startup built its code editor by modifying Microsoft’s open-source VS Code and integrating powerful large language models capable of generating, debugging, and optimising code.

Recently, [it released its flagship model, Composer,](https://www.theleftshift.com/anysphere-launches-cursor-2-0-with-multi-agent-interface-and-new-coding-model-composer/) which is a custom mixture-of-experts LLM that the company claims runs *four times faster* than comparable models and can complete many coding tasks in under 30 seconds.

Unlike most AI developers who rely on Nvidia’s CUDA libraries, Cursor built Composer using PTX, Nvidia’s low-level machine language. This approach delivered a threefold performance boost across several components. 

Earlier this year, [the startup announced a new $200-a-month Ultra plan](https://www.theleftshift.com/cursor-launches-ultra-subscription-plan-priced-at-200/) for its AI coding assistant, Cursor, offering users 20 times more usage than its $20 Pro tier.

The Ultra plan includes priority access to new features and leverages multi-year partnerships with major AI model providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and xAI.
