Thanks for reporting this. Could you please try these steps:

Quick fixes to test:

  1. Logout/login - Go to Cursor Settings → General → Log Out (bottom), then log back in
  2. Create new chat - Try opening a new Agent/chat tab instead of continuing an existing one
  3. Run network diagnostics - Cursor Settings → Network → Run Diagnostics, share results if issues persist
  4. Disable HTTP/2 - Press Ctrl + ,, search “HTTP/2”, enable “Disable HTTP/2” (helps with corporate networks/VPNs)

Are you on a corporate network, VPN, or using a proxy? Which specific models fail (or is it all of them)?

Let me know which step helps!
