Is Composer 2 at Identity Loss or is it just GPT-5.2 but renamed in the UI. I know it is powered by Kimi K2.5, but that’s not what I mean. I mean I use GPT-5.2 Xhigh frequently, so did the model selector just stop actually changing 
Hey, from the screenshots I can see that Composer 2 Fast is selected in the picker, but the model introduces itself as GPT-5.2. I get why that looks suspicious.
This isn’t a routing bug. Models aren’t reliable at identifying themselves. If you ask an LLM “who are you?”, it might call itself anything. That’s a hallucination, not a signal of which model is actually handling the request. Composer 2 doesn’t have to “know” it’s Composer 2.
The picker in the bottom bar is what determines the real routing. If it’s set to Composer 2, the request goes to Composer 2.
If you want to confirm the models are different, try giving the same coding prompt to both and compare the style and response speed. The difference should be noticeable.
I find this interesting. In fact, it intrigues me how this only happens with Composer. Furthermore, it takes the identity of any model I often use. When I heavily use Opus, it takes that identity, when I heavily use GPT-5.2, it takes that identity (only Composer). All other models are fine. Lastly, I don’t feel auto actually picks. it uses the same model for like 50 tasks in a row, even though some are very complex and some are very minor. I once had it use Opus 4.6 for a week, and then Codex 5.3 for a month. I don’t know if cursor is defaulting/hardcoding these. Can you please clarify on all three of these points? Thank you.
