The model Gemini-2.5-pro does not work with your current

Gemini-2.5-pro

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey @blankohagen7, that’s odd but let’s figure this out. First, check whether the same API key works on the Google developer console where you got the key from, or with a different client such as curl. Does it work there?

Hey, thanks for the report. It looks like the issue is the model name. If you added this model manually, please remove it and use the model name that’s already available in Cursor.
