This seems to occur only after O3 uses tools/plugins during the session. This issue is highly disruptive because O3 is often excellent at identifying bugs, but I prefer using another model for code fixes or explanations. Currently, once I use O3, I’m locked into it for that conversation Steps to Reproduce Open a new conversation in Cursor.

Thats why when I give any prompt to cursor ai, it doesn’t obey it. It just keep rotating like its working but nothing happens. I tried with 5 different internets, I am not behind any proxy, nothing worked. Then In same network, I logged out of my pro plan user and logged in with fresh email. Everything is working… This doesn’t feel like something solved by “have you tried starting a new chat?” That keeps being the default reply, but new threads with the same symptoms keep appearing. It’s clearly broader than isolated user error. I’d really appreciate someone from the Cursor team acknowledging this with at least a “we’re looking into it.” For me, Cursor has been nearly unusable the last two weeks. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.cursor.com/t/o3-pro-user-not-connecting-to-model-provider/120157)._
