Hey, thanks for the feedback.
Auto mode should automatically pick the best model for each task. To figure out what’s going wrong, I’ll need a bit more info:
- What exact task are you giving the agent where the result isn’t good?
- Which model is Auto mode choosing right now? (Top-right chat context menu > Copy Request ID and share it)
- What Cursor version are you on? (Help > About Cursor > Copy)
Workaround: try selecting a model manually instead of Auto. For example, Claude Opus 4.5 or GPT-5.1 High for harder tasks, and Gemini 3 Pro or GPT-5.1 Medium for everyday ones. This gives you more control over which model is used.
If you have specific prompt examples where Auto gives a poor result but a specific model does better, please share them. That’ll help the team improve the model selection logic.
