Composer / Auto failing to connect when using images

This is a known bug. Our team is aware and working on it.

Workaround for now:

  • Start a new chat without images if you need Composer 2/2.5

  • If you need to work with images, select a multimodal model (like Claude or GPT) from the model picker instead of Auto or Composer

Also, your Cursor version (2.6.14, from March 2026) is quite outdated. While this specific bug is server-side, updating to the latest version will include many other fixes and improvements.

Our team is aware and investigating.
