Cursor user tests M3's long context for improved repo memory

A Cursor user is evaluating the new M3 model, not based on its benchmark scores, but on its ability to avoid hallucinating non-existent files and modules within a complex codebase. The user's primary concern is reducing the need for manual "spoon-feeding" of file paths and context to the AI, which they find to be a significant time sink in their current workflow. If M3's larger context window can improve the AI's "repo memory" and reduce these hallucinations, it would represent a substantial product improvement for the Cursor IDE. AI

IMPACT If M3's long context window reduces AI hallucinations in codebases, it could significantly decrease developer friction and improve productivity.

RANK_REASON User commentary on a model's practical application and potential impact on a product.
