This makes me wonder - what gross margin might Cursor, and the similar AI IDEs, might be operating at right now?

Traditionally, most SaaS was designed to have 80%+ gross margin (cost after direct costs such as cloud hosting, support etc.). Surely cursor etc. would have much smaller margin with 500+ premium-model requests @20$?
