Improve "Models" Settings UI Readability & Grouping

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Problem: The current “Models” selection list suffers from severe cognitive overload. Displaying every possible permutation of model version, quality, and speed as a flat, repetitive text list makes it difficult for users to scan and manage their active models efficiently. It is not scalable as more variants are added.

Suggested Solution: Move away from a flat list of permutations toward a hierarchical structure to improve usability.

Group by Family: Organize models into collapsible accordion sections based on their parent family (e.g., “GPT-5 Family”, “Claude Family”) to reduce clutter.

Use Parameter Tags: Instead of separate rows for every combination (e.g., “GPT-5.1 High Fast”), use selectable modifier chips/tags within a single model entry for options like Speed [:high_voltage:] or Quality [:gem_stone:].

Visual Iconography: Replace repetitive text labels with icons for speed, quality, and coding specialization to make the list faster to visually scan.
