OpenAI just set a November 12 deadline to cut Cursor off from its models entirely.
When Anaconda acquired Kilo, their engineering team migrated from Cursor to Kilo months before the news broke. Here is what actually changed in their daily engineering workflow:
💳 1. Real-Time Token Pricing: Per-token visibility for every chat session replaces flat subscription limits and mystery bills.
📁 2. Portable Skills & Rules: Standardized skill paths (`~/.agents/skills`) mean zero configuration is lost when switching tools.
🤖 3. Benchmark Routing: Auto-Efficient model routing picks the cheapest model proven capable of the task across 500+ supported options.
🔒 4. Enterprise Sub-Org Rules: Enforce European data compliance per sub-org while granting full model catalog access to R&D teams.
