Multi model prompt

I used to be able to see the option to use multiple models with same prompt right next to the model name, but I don’t see that anymore. Is there any reason it disappeared? I’ve checked with other people, they still have it.

This is true for any mode (ask, debug, plan, agent)

Hey @Melodie_Faust!

Do you have a Git repository open? That’s a requirement for Use Multiple Models.

Hi Colin, thanks for your reply. I’ve played around with how I open projects, and I can see the feature “Use Multiple Models“ under some condition.

Now I don’t understand how I can open multiple projects and still get the feature:
When I open a new window and I try to open an existing git project (already cloned in my machine), I can see the feature.
But as soon as I try to add a second project with “Add folder to workspace”, I loose access to the feature. How would I open 2 projects in one window while still having access to the feature?

I see this too, but I’ve set it up so I have a github repo where I have two other repos under it to be able to analyze them both; this used to work fine, but now I can’t get multi-model to work in this setup.

Unfortunately, git worktrees are not supported in multi-root workspaces today. You’ll need to have the root of a Git repository open to use worktrees and multiple models.

This sounds like another issue, if your workspace is opened to the root of a Git repository! I’d suggest you raise a new topic.

I just tried the fake git repo trick, and it’s working for me.
I did a git init in the “root” folder containing my 9 repos, and then opened this root folder with cursor, I can see the feature.

BUT if I want to have only 2 or 3 of the repos, by opening one, then adding a second / third, I don’t see the feature. It would be nice to have, but I’m satisfied with the current workaround.
