Hello,

Can I participate/signup into testing ‘beta’ models and provide feedback?  
Working daily 8(+) hours on many different kind of projects.

Hey @Ronnie_O, thanks for offering to help!

We don’t currently have a sign-up program for testing unreleased models. When a new or preview model becomes available in Cursor, it shows up in the model picker for everyone at the same time, so there isn’t a separate tester list to join.

What you can do is get pre-release builds of Cursor itself, which is where new features and model integrations land first:

1. Open Cursor Settings
2. Go to the Beta tab.
3. Under Update Access, change Default to Nightly.

Nightly builds update automatically and can be rough around the edges, so we’d suggest keeping a stable install for production work.

Feedback is very welcome either way. If you hit problems on any build, a post in Bug Reports with your Cursor version and what you were doing helps us a lot!
