On the pricing page (Pricing | Cursor - The AI-first Code Editor) the premium plan says “10 o1-mini uses per day”. What does that mean practically? Does this mean that the first 10 AI queries each day are made using the ChatGPT o1-mini instead of Claude? Does the switch happen automatically or do you have to do it manually? And why o1-mini and not o1-preview?
Thanks!
Hi @Anastasia
No, you manually select any model you need. In this case, the o1-mini model provides 10 free requests, and they don’t count towards your main quota. You can choose any model from the list. As for the o1-preview model, it’s pricing-based and costs $0.40 per request.
Why no GPT4 with Canvas? I thought that one was specifically designed to work w/ code? Are you guys planning to integrate w/ it eventually?
Also, were are those pricing details on the site? I don’t see anything on Pricing | Cursor - The AI-first Code Editor that indicates that you’ll be charged more than the $20/month if you go over 10 ai requests a day? Or do you have to keep switching between models to get “500 fast premium requests per month” so that you don’t go over 10 requests per day for any single model?
The canvas isn’t a feature of the LLM model, but just a front end that wraps the LLM to make code changes easier. It’s not something that can be brought into Cursor - in fact, it’s arguably a simpler version of what Cursor does!
In regards to the payment, you won’t get charged for anything over $20 a month by default. If you use all 10 requests, you’ll get an alert saying you can’t use the model anymore. To bypass this, you can use “Usage Pricing”, where you pay per query. When you enable this in the web dashboard, the pricing is explaining in detail there.
Oh! Ok, that makes sense. Thanks!
Is there a way to check how many o1-mini requests I have used in a day on Cursor IDE, since I am already subscribed to Cursor Pro, which will cost 10 cents per request after the first 10 free ones?
You should be able to see your paid usage in the Cursor dashboard, but I don’t believe we currently have a way to see how much of your free o1-mini usage you have used so far!
Will hopefully show this on the dashboard in the future!
