Hey @Ashish_Kumar2, thanks for the report, and sorry for the trouble!

This isn’t your network, we’ve identified an issue on our side affecting some requests that include images in the conversation, and the team is looking into it.

In the meantime, switching the model picker to a specific model outside the Grok family, or starting a fresh conversation without image attachments, should get you unblocked. We’ll follow up here once it’s resolved.

Colin · August 21, 2026, 10:07am

Hey everyone,

The issue should be resolved now. Please try again!

Sujata_Rani · August 21, 2026, 10:31am

yes, new chat window is working for me. Thanks for the workaround to unblock me.

Max_Well · September 3, 2026, 3:36pm

@Colin Hey!
Still having the same issue

“The model “cursor-grok-4.6-xhigh” is unavailable and you have been rerouted to Auto.”

Colin · September 3, 2026, 3:37pm
