The blog[0] is worded rather conservatively but on Twitter [2] the claim is pretty obvious and the hype effect is achieved [2]

CEO stated "We built a browser with GPT-5.2 in Cursor"

instead of

"by dividing agents into planners and workers we managed to get them busy for weeks creating thousands of commits to the main branch, resolving merge conflicts along the way. The repo is 1M+ lines of code but the code does not work (yet)"

Even then, "resolving merge conflicts along the way" doesn't mean anything, as there are two trivial merge strategies that are always guaranteed to work ('ours' and 'theirs').

>>deng+sx
that’s not guaranteed to work. Other parts of the CodeBase that didn’t conflict could depend on the discarded code.

>>fzzzy+Hz
Well they did mention the code doesn't work.

>>former+XB
Where did Cursor say that?

>>nyeah+MI
It's implied by the fact that early in the post they say:

>"To test this system, we pointed it at an ambitious goal: building a web browser from scratch."

and then near the end, they say:

>"Hundreds of agents can work together on a single codebase for weeks, making real progress on ambitious projects."

This means they only make progress toward it, but do not "build a web browser from scratch".

If you're curious, the State of Utopia (will be available at https://stateofutopia.com ) did build a web browser from scratch, though it used several packages for the networking portion of it.
