Cannot use GPT-5.3-Codex in Cursor

Provider returned error: {“error”:{“code”:“invalid_parameter_error”,“message”:“model gpt-5.3-codex is not supported.”,“param”:null,“type”:“invalid_request_error”}}

GPT-5.3-Codex is unavailable but can be enabled in the settings, why? (my Cursor has been updated to the latest version)

Hi @Hao_Sun

A couple of things could be causing this:

  1. Custom OpenAI API key: This error most commonly occurs when you have an OpenAI API key configured in Cursor Settings. Codex 5.3 is available through Cursor’s built-in model routing (included in your Team plan), but it’s not available through personal OpenAI API keys. Go to Cursor Settings > Models and check if you have a key entered in the OpenAI API Key field. If so, try removing it and restarting Cursor.

  2. Regional restrictions: Certain models are restricted in some regions due to policies set by the model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). This is not something Cursor controls. If you’re in a region where OpenAI models are restricted, try using Auto mode, which automatically selects the best available model for your region.

Let me know if either of those resolves it!

Today all Anthropic models have been removed from the list of the available models

Is it because of the geo restrictions?

p.s. i’m on Cursor 2.4

The problem was caused by the first reason, and I’ve fixed it now. Thank you for your reply.
