Cursor Ships Agent Splitting and Multi-Tasking in Version 3

The AI coding IDE now lets developers run multiple agents simultaneously in split views, treating agents more like terminal sessions than single-threaded assistants.

Cursor has shipped a set of quality-of-life improvements to its third major version, with the headline feature being agent splitting — the ability to run multiple AI agents simultaneously in split views, as announced by @cursor_ai. The company explicitly compared the UX to terminal multiplexing, a metaphor that signals how Cursor thinks about its product: agents are not assistants you talk to one at a time, they are parallel workers you orchestrate.
