Start from scratch, without a repo
Cloud Agents no longer require a connected GitHub or other third-party SCM provider to get started. Prompt from the get-go, then save your work to a Cursor Origin repo. #Get started Select Start from scratch in the repo picker, then prompt the agent. In the background, Cursor creates an Origin repo for you. #Turn it into a real repo, whenever you want Once the agent's build is to your liking, click the Create repo button to save your work in an Origin repo. Choose a custom name or pick one of the suggested ones, then set the visibility to private or internal. You'll get a fully scaffolded Origin repo, ready to share or keep building on. Navigate to the Codebase tab to find your repo and access your project. #A live preview, right in the browser Cursor now port-forwards your cloud agent's live environment straight to your browser, so you can preview it and use tools like design mode. #Publish your work Connect a Vercel account and hit publish to get a live URL for what you built. A Vercel account is required to use the publish feature. Get started today.

Enterprise-Grade Precision for Long-Context Multimodal Embedding Inference on Cloud TPU
Google Cloud has natively integrated TPU support into the vLLM serving engine, allowing developers to elastically scale high-demand embedding pipelines using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). To handle massive 15K+ token contexts for models like Qwen3-Embedding-8B, the engineering team implemented TPU-specific optimizations such as hardware-safe tensor alignment, JAX/XLA compilation pre-warming, and a hybrid StepPool architecture for chunked prefill management. These enhancements achieve near-perfect numerical parity with reference GPU baselines, and developers can immediately leverage the open-sourced setup recipes on the AI-Hypercomputer GitHub to build their own high-throughput semantic retrieval applications.
