Does this stop you from using Cursor
Yes - Cursor is unusable
Thanks for reporting this! It is working for me and I don’t see any other reports on this. Can you check if it is working for you now? If not, can you confirm if other models are working for you?
If other models aren’t working either, please try these steps:
-
Go to Cursor Settings → Network → Run Diagnostics to check your connection
-
If you’re on a corporate network or VPN, try disabling it temporarily and testing again
-
If the network test shows issues or you’re on a restricted network, try disabling HTTP/2 in app settings (Cmd + , → search “HTTP/2” → enable “Disable HTTP/2”)
Please let us know if this still happens after these steps.
Hi Sanjeed5,
I quit cursor and restarted and it worked for a while and then again the same issue.
I tried with GPT 5 mini preview and it is working. Seems an issue only with the grok model.
Could be a temporary issue with the model provider then. You can also try auto mode so that it chooses models with better availability.
I do not wish to use auto. Also this model works just fine in VS Code.
