Which workflow fits?
Cursor brings coding, planning and review into its product environment, with CLI and integration options as well. AX Code centers the terminal session and the execution record you can inspect afterward.
| Consideration | AX Code | Cursor |
|---|---|---|
| Working environment | Terminal UI and command-line workflows alongside your existing editor. | Coding environment with agent workflows, CLI and integrations. |
| Model selection | Connect supported local runtimes or cloud providers. | Model options are documented in Cursor’s model catalog; check availability for your workflow. |
| Reviewing changes | Inspect session records, compare runs and review file changes. | Review agent diffs and run project checks before merging. |
What to evaluate with AX Code
AX Code Standard is open source under Apache-2.0. Its terminal workflow supports connected local or cloud models, recorded execution, file-change review and session comparison. Local model performance depends on your hardware and selected model. External services may charge for usage.
AX Code Business is planned. The website’s illustrative speed display is not a benchmark against Cursor.
Inspect AX Code’s source and documented capabilities ↗Do I need to leave my editor to try AX Code?
No. Open a terminal in an existing repository and use AX Code alongside your editor. Try one bounded change, then inspect the diff in your normal review tools.
Try a representative task
Use the same bug and acceptance tests in separate clean checkouts. Compare how easily you can understand the proposed edits, recover unwanted changes and keep working in your preferred editor.
