Opus Models, Opus 4.6

Support Bug Reports
5

Hey, let’s break it down step by step, since there are a few things mixed together here:

  1. Opus 4.6 switching to high-thinking is expected. Opus 4.6’s default non-max config uses thinking: true, effort: high, so high-thinking is the main/default mode.

  2. Models disappearing or being hidden. The model picker has had a lot of changes in recent versions, and some bugs have already been fixed. You’re on 3.0.16 from April 9, and the current stable version is 3.1.x. Update Cursor and check again. A lot of threads with similar symptoms went away after updating:

If, after updating, Opus still disappears from the list, please send:

  • the version after the update
  • a screenshot of the model picker at the moment Opus isn’t visible
  • what exactly you’re looking for: Opus 4.6, Opus 4.6 Max, or Opus 4.6 Fast?

That’ll make it clear what we’re dealing with.
