On October 5, 2025, Cursor quietly released a new stealth model called Cheetah, appearing in the model selection menu without official announcement.
"Seems somewhat claude-like. Anyone else try it out yet? Think it's Gemini 3" — Cursor user turtle260
Early users report fast performance and intelligent coding capabilities. One developer noted the model "nailed" a difficult database migration task, identifying and fixing foreign key issues before running tests to confirm the solution.
