Hey, yes, we’re already aware that this model isn’t working at the moment. I believe we’ll fix it soon.

Hi there, Cursor Team! I’d like to point out a naming inconsistency with the DeepSeek models to avoid user confusion.

  • The model currently listed as “Deepseek V3.1” (~60K context) is officially named “DeepSeek V3 0324”, as “V3.1” was an incorrect community name for it.
  • The actual “DeepSeek V3.1” was just released in August 2025. It has a 128K context length and has NOT yet been integrated into Cursor.

To fix this, could you please:

  • Rename the existing V3.1 model to its correct name: “DeepSeek V3 0324”.
  • Add the new “DeepSeek V3.1” (August 2025) model with 128K context length.
  • Update these changes in both the application and on the website to ensure consistency.

Thanks!

Nope. That one was using the wrong name by the community. The current “V3.1“ is actually “DeepSeek V3 0324”, released on March 24, 2025, with a context length of ~60K.

We’ll need to wait for the Cursor team to add the real “DeepSeek V3.1” (Aug 2025) with 128K context support.

In fact they rendered it unusable but before it was actually the ONLY really free model out there. I used it heavily for tiny questions.

Well now we want API charging, so models not bringing money is not an advantage for them. It was also changed to 0 to 0.7 if memory serves.

I made this feature request 2 day earlier already and why this article upvoted than mine?:sad_but_relieved_face:

Hello Cursor team,

The new model DeepSeek V3.1 has just been released, and I would love to see it supported in Cursor as soon as possible.

However, I’d like to point out a potential source of confusion: the model DeepSeek V3-0324 is already listed in Cursor as “DeepSeek V3.1.” Since the newly released model is also officially named DeepSeek V3.1, this may cause ambiguity for users.

Could you please consider clarifying the naming in the model list while adding support for the new DeepSeek V3.1? That way, users will clearly understand which version they are using.

Thank you for your great work!

That’s weird. also I voted! love the energy here.

Problem is that cursor has renamed v3-0324 to v3.1…
The real v3.1 was released less than a month ago.

Deepseek should have called it 3.5. or Cursor should have kept it v3-0324

:thinking: And cursor has not update the name by now :upside_down_face:
