Cursor's agent swarm suggests cheaper models can handle most coding when frontier models plan the work

AI Summary
Cursor's upgraded agent swarm successfully rebuilt SQLite in Rust without using source code or internet access, achieving a perfect score on the test suite. This demonstrates that cheaper models can effectively handle most coding tasks when guided by more advanced planning models.
From the source
Cursor asked its upgraded agent swarm and its predecessor to rebuild SQLite in Rust using only the documentation, with no source code or internet access. Every configuration of the new system, which separates planners from workers, eventually scored 100 percent on the test suite. The old swarm choked on merge conflicts of its own making.
