Describe the Bug
Grok 3 mini is a thinking model.
source:
https://docs.x.ai/docs/models/grok-3-mini
On top of this is is unclear what the reasoning level is set to. This post: Model "o3-mini" with "reasoning_effort" - #5 by ericzakariasson indicates that it might be set to high, but it is unclear. Given the recent changes to usage limits/pricing on Cursor, reasoning levels should be controllable by the user for models that allow it.
Grok 3 mini with high reasoning is one of the top performing and lowest cost models. Perhaps the best ratio of those two considerations of all frontier models.
It would be amazing if these could be addressed!
Thank you!
Steps to Reproduce
- look at grok-3-mini in cursor
- observer there is no thinking icon
