Can we change the default model used by auto-spawned sub-agents?

If you are in the legacy pricing of request-based, then you cannot change it without going to MAX mode:

I want to change the model used by Subagent system

Only when MAX mode is enabled will the subagent inherit the main agent’s model. Otherwise, it falls back to composer1.5. There is also a known bug where subagents that spawn additional subagents (level 2) always fall back to composer1.5, even when MAX mode is enabled. See the reported bug: https://forum.cursor.com/t/nested-subagents-dont-inherit-model-in-max-mode/152680

But if you are in token-based pricing then you can change it: Subagents | Cursor Docs
