O3-mini model selector and pricing inconsistencies

Describe the Bug

There are inconsistencies to information relating to the o3-mini model.

  1. The site says that it is 0.25x requests
  2. The model selector in agent mode does not show the model and its pricing and cannot be enabled by search for it. It has to be added as a custom model
  3. The model, when added as a custom model, consumes 0.5x rather than 0.25x requests

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to settings in cursor and click “Custom Model”
  2. Add “o3-mini”
  3. Check cursor dashboard and find that 0.5x credit has been consumed.

Expected Behavior

It should work

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

  1. No o3-mini model in the selector

  2. o3-mini does not show any pricing info when added as a custom model

  3. o3-mini bills me 0.5 instead of 0.25

  4. o3-mini says that it should cost 0.25
