Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, that’s odd and a bit different from what I am seeing at my end - I don’t see an option to delete a model completely in Cursor Settings → Models. That suggests you can only turn it off.

If you disabled Sonnet 4.5, just search for it in the model list and toggle it back on.

That refresh button to the right of the search box might also be worth trying.

Does that help?

it seems to be a account issue, when i registered another github account, the models list restored. but when i switch back no more claude models, uninstall, reinstall didn’t work.

That’s odd - I’m not sure why the models are missing and may need staff assistance. I’m a free user too, and can see the models fine, with a proper nudge to a pro subscription when I try to use any premium models.

Hey, thanks for the report. If you accidentally removed this model, you can try adding these names: claude-4.5-sonnet and claude-4.5-sonnet-thinking, respectively. Let me know if that doesn’t work.

thanks so much, these models seems came back by accident too :slight_smile:
