Hey, thanks for the request.
Right now, you can’t see which model Auto picked for a specific request. Auto chooses a model for each request and balances quality, speed, and cost. Because of that, it’s hard to say if it’s worth it or not in every case. A lot depends on your tasks.
What can help in practice:
- In Dashboard > Usage, you can see how much your requests use. You can try Auto for a while, then switch to a specific model and compare.
- If predictability and clear quality matter, pick a model manually in the model picker. You can find model pricing here: Models & Pricing | Cursor Docs
- How Auto routing works is explained here: Cursor Router | Cursor Docs. The available options depend on your plan.
There’s already a separate thread requesting a way to show the model used when Auto is selected. You can vote here: Show which model handled each step when using Auto mode
