Cursor, now part of SpaceX, launched Origin — a code-hosting platform that handles repos, pull requests, and collaborative editing, with GitHub interoperability allowing repos to sync between both platforms. 'Agent native' features are promised but undetailed. The launch coincided with a 6+ hour GitHub outage hitting nearly 20% error rates worldwide, adding to a pattern of GitHub reliability issues this year.

Why: If you're already using Cursor's AI Code Editor, Origin lets you mirror GitHub repos and keep working during GitHub outages — evaluate whether partial migration or dual-hosting is worth the setup cost now, or wait until the 'agent native' features are actually shipped before committing.

Cursor launched Origin, an early-beta code hosting platform available to all paid plans (except enterprise orgs whose admins opt out). It supports repos, pull requests, code browsing, and two-way GitHub sync where GitHub remains the source of truth for synced repos. Integrations with Vercel (preview deployments per PR), Depot, and Buildkite (CI) are already live, with 'agent-native features' promised soon.

Why: If you already pay for Cursor, you can now create repos directly in Cursor and connect Vercel/Depot/Buildkite for PR previews and CI without leaving the IDE—but this is early beta with no agent-native features yet, so don't migrate production repos off GitHub. Evaluate whether the Vercel preview-per-PR integration saves your team review time before committing.
