Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE Describe the Bug I switched off Grok in Settings → Models and I started new chat with another model (for example Fable 5). When I run command in chat it automatically changes to Grok Steps to Reproduce open Cursor go to Settings → Model switch off Grok start new chat with Fable model (or other except for Grok) run command in chat Grok enables inself in settings and is used automatically in chat Expected Behavior Model I pick in chat is used Screenshots / Screen Recordings Operating System MacOS Version Information Version: 3.11.25 VS Code Extension API: 1.125.0 Commit: fc2563ec93d793fc275eef734405a4fdf8b47b20 Date: 2026-07-15T01:27:41.754Z Layout: IDE Build Type: Stable Release Track: Default Electron: 40.10.3 Chromium: 144.0.7559.236 Node.js: 24.15.0 V8: 14.4.258.32-electron.0 xterm.js: 6.1.0-beta.256 OS: Darwin arm64 25.5.0 For AI issues: which model did you use? I wanted to use Fable 5 but model changed automatically to Grok Does this stop you from using Cursor Cursor works, but I am not able to use model which I want and which is relevant for my tasks

I’m also noticing a lot of Fast (Composer and Grok) after being disabled them (except for the ones I can’t), but my main work was being done in Not-Fast and now seems a bit random. (at least haven’t found why or how to solve it).

I am seeing this as well. Version: 3.13.10 (user setup) VS Code Extension API: 1.128.0 Commit: 4f02290ccd9304f0e6bf8ee85f6e9106f02ac1f0 Date: 2026-07-23T21:41:07.333Z Layout: IDE Build Type: Stable Release Track: Default Electron: 40.10.3 Chromium: 144.0.7559.236 Node.js: 24.15.0 V8: 14.4.258.32-electron.0 xterm.js: 6.1.0-beta.256 OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26200

Since the last update, the situation has gotten even worse. Cursor is pushing us really hard to use Grok

Having the same problem. It persist with grok disabled.

Experiencing this as well. I’m guessing this is working as intended from the PM’s perspective, but some of us refuse to use software developed by that company. Strongly considering moving to another coding platform if this is not resolved soon, for what it’s worth.

Hey, quick update on this thread. The issue from the first post, where a model disabled in Settings > Models like Grok would turn itself back on and get auto selected in chat, was fixed in a recent update stable version 3.14.7. Please update to the latest version and this should go away. Disabled models now stay off, and auto switching will no longer pick them. Thanks to @Charles_Wood for confirming in #24. Separately, about Fast turning itself back on with Grok 4.5 or Composer 2.5 @Ceneka, @jkpe, @Pol_Cors, this is a different issue and it is not covered by this fix. We are tracking it, but I can’t share an ETA yet. I’ll post here when I have an update. If after updating to 3.14.7 you still see a disabled model being used, please reply with your version and the Request ID and we will take a look.

@deanrie Disabled models now stay off, and auto switching will no longer pick them That doesn’t seem to be the case. I’m running 3.14.7, and while disabled models do seem to stay off for now, from the usage tab at https://cursor.com/dashboard/usage, I gather that any time I pick “auto” Grok is used even though it’s disabled both as “Model” and as “Subagent model”. At first I figured this happened because an existing chat in an existing project might continue to use the model it had been using before. But it also happens for new chats in projects created after upgrading to 3.14.7 Here’s the request ID of a request with the issue: 8f1b687f-e5c0-4e30-b337-01c095480ded

I have the same behavior. Grok is always selected even if explicitly disabled.

Quick update on this thread. The behavior it started with, where a model that’s disabled in Settings turns itself back on and replaces the model you picked in a new chat, was investigated, and recent updates include improvements for this. If you’re still seeing it, please update to the latest Stable build, then check if it still happens. Cursor Settings > About will show your version. Some of the reports above are from older versions 3.11.x and 3.13.x. If the issue still happens on the latest version, please share: Your Cursor version and OS Cursor Settings > About The Request ID from the message where the model switched by itself right top chat menu > Copy Request ID Also, about a couple things from recent messages. Fast turning on by itself on Grok 4.5, and Plan sub-tasks going to Grok Fast, are most likely separate issues, not the same as the original report. If they still happen after updating, please start a separate thread for each one you can link back here so it’s easier to track and avoid mixing cases. Let me know how it looks on the latest version.
