I don’t know. In my opinion, at least based on [my very limited testing](https://x.com/monnef/status/1887231954543575135), it looks like a full-fat R1. Though there was one issue - Cursor seems to have a timeout, probably around 5 minutes, which, combined with slow inference speeds, can lead to terrible results (cut-off responses mid-thinking without any result).
