Continue’s Cursor deal changes your open-source agent bet
Cursor has acquired Continue, while Continue says its open-source codebase remains freely available. That combination turns a familiar coding-agent adoption into an ownership and governance review, especially with Cursor ranked third for outbound-click activity this week. Zencoder’s same-day shift to Zenflow—a platform coordinating frontier models and multiple agents across software workflows—makes the adjacent question more pressing: whether your team needs a single coding assistant or orchestration across them. If Continue is in your stack, check the project’s governance, roadmap control, and compatibility with your model and agent choices today.

Learn: Context Window
A context window is how much the model can keep in view at once. Think of a chef reading a single order ticket. If the ticket only fits a few items, the chef may miss earlier instructions. If it’s large enough, the chef can see the full order, the special request, and the side dish all at once.
For an agent, a bigger context window means it can keep more of a task, chat history, or codebase in view while it works. That helps with long debugging sessions or multi-step planning. But this is not permanent memory. Once the turn ends, the model does not keep that state unless the app sends it back in.

One tool worth testing
Orbi — Test Orbi for taking a GitHub Issue through implementation, independent review, merge, and release. Its new listing matters now because it combines that end-to-end coding workflow with open-source, self-hostable deployment and the option to use your own model endpoint. In a 30-minute pilot, run one bounded issue through Orbi and compare the review, merge, and release handoffs with your current coding-agent workflow.
