Does MAX mode provide additional benefits other than increasing the context window length?

@JhonW00d There are not as many differences now between Max and non-Max modes as they used to be.

One of the differences for Max mode is how many lines are read at once from a file. Max mode reads 750 lines and non-Max 250 lines.

  1. Cursor uses AI models from several providers. Each AI model has a context limit set by the AI provider. We also may set a context limit to a model depending on its performance in non-Max mode.

  2. Max mode is not smarter for any model.
