For AI issues: which model did you use?

Auto

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

2

It crashes, when the model tries to summarise the chat content.

Hey, thanks for the report. This matches a known bug the Cursor team is currently investigating.

The crash occurs during chat summarization and affects multiple macOS users on recent 1.7.x versions.

Workaround: launch Cursor with GPU disabled: cursor --disable-gpu

This should prevent crashes while the team works on a fix.

Quick questions to help the investigation:

  • Do you have any MCP servers installed (e.g., Atlassian, GitHub)?
  • What’s your exact macOS version?

Let me know if the --disable-gpu workaround helps.

Yes, Supabase MCP

15.6.1 (24G90)

FYI to everyone.

disable-gpu did not work.
I downgraded from the newest version and that did the trick.
