Linux + Glass: Settings and model picker only show four models (Pro+)

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Summary

On Linux with Cursor Glass layout, both Cursor Settings → Models and the chat/agent model dropdown only list four models. I cannot enable or add other models (no Claude/GPT/Gemini etc. in the list). The same four appear in both places.

Models visible (only these four)

  • Premium
  • Composer 2
  • Grok 4.3
  • Kimi K2.5

Subscription

Pro+ (confirmed on cursor.com/dashboard).

Environment

Version: 3.3.22
VSCode Version: 1.105.1
Commit: 38a27120cfc7419a5efa38420665eaeeed1e7b30
Date: 2026-05-07T07:47:13.552Z
Layout: glass
Build Type: Stable
Release Track: Default
Electron: 39.8.1
Chromium: 142.0.7444.265
Node.js: 22.22.1
V8: 14.2.231.22-electron.0
OS: Linux x64 6.8.0-111-generic

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Cursor Settings → Models → observe only the four entries above; no way to add others.
  2. Open model picker in chat/agent → same four only.

Expected

Ability to enable additional models per plan (as documented), or at least see the full list of toggles in Settings → Models.

Already tried

  • Confirmed same account on web dashboard.
  • Fully quit and restart Cursor; updated to current Stable.
  • Toggled off the green Auto switch next to the model in the Agent panel (no change to the four-model limit).
  • Tried disabling Glass / switching layout if available (describe result).
  • Issue is not “only four in Settings but more in picker” — both are limited to the same four.

Update: On the same machine and same account, when I use Cursor from the web, the model list is OK (full list / expected behavior). The issue only happens in the desktop Cursor app (Linux, Glass layout). This suggests a client-side bug or bad local state, not a plan limitation.

Notes

This looks like a client-side model catalog / Glass UI issue on Linux rather than a plan limitation, since the plan is Pro+.

Thank you.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, this isn’t a Linux or Glass bug. It’s regional restrictions from the model providers. The 4 models you see (Premium, Composer 2, Grok 4.3, Kimi K2.5) are exactly the ones that aren’t blocked in your region: Cursor’s own models, xAI, and Moonshot.

Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT/Codex), and Google (Gemini) block access to their models in some regions on their side. This is a provider requirement, and Cursor can’t bypass it. The filter is applied on the server before the catalog is sent to the client, so it doesn’t depend on the layout (Glass/editor), OS, or IDE version.

Similar case with details: Anthropic models missing from settings

About web showing the full list, it’s most likely showing what’s included in the plan in general, not what’s actually available at runtime in your region. In the IDE you’ll only get what’s реально available.

Premium/Auto will route to the best available model that works in your region, so you can use it as the default.

I understand from your explanation that Anthropic/OpenAI/Google may block model access in certain regions at the provider level, and that Cursor applies this filter server-side before the catalog reaches the client — so this is not an OS/Glass bug.

As a Pro+ subscriber, my concern is commercial clarity and fair value: if marketing or plan pages list models that are not actually available at runtime in my region, that should be disclosed before purchase and in the account/billing UI, not only as a generic disclaimer. The web UI showing a “full” plan list while the IDE only shows the regionally allowed subset (e.g. Premium, Composer 2, Grok, Kimi) is confusing and feels like paying for a tier whose headline benefits I cannot use.

Requests:

  1. Transparency: Show the effective model catalog for my account/region at checkout and in subscription settings.
  2. Documentation: Align marketing pages with runtime availability or label them explicitly as “plan includes, subject to regional enforcement by third-party providers.”
  3. Fair compensation policy: Please confirm whether Cursor offers proration, credits, regional pricing, or other adjustments for subscribers in provider-restricted regions who paid Pro+ rates but cannot access major advertised models.

I’m not asking Cursor to bypass provider rules — I’m asking for clear disclosure and proportional value for paid tiers. A written policy would help set expectations for affected users.

Hey, fair points and the feedback makes sense.

On (1) and (2), transparency at checkout and making sure marketing pages match what’s actually available in each region is product and docs feedback I can pass along. It’s a fair request, and I agree the mismatch between what the web dashboard lists and what’s available in the IDE is confusing.

On (3), proration, credits, or regional pricing changes are handled per account by the billing team, not something we can resolve on the forum. Please email [email protected] with your account details and what happened, and they’ll take a look.
