CURSOR LAUNCHES ORIGIN CODE HOSTING PLATFORM AS GITHUB OUTAGE EXPOSES OPENING IN AI CODING RACE

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Cursor is currently rolling out its Origin code hosting platform to paid users. The launch coincided with a GitHub outage that lasted over six hours. Origin allows users to connect GitHub repositories, so they do not have to move platforms. Allowing GitHub to stay as a source of truth means it costs nothing for organizations to try Origin and nothing breaks if it is abandoned.
