Admin Note: sonic is a new ghost model we are testing alongside one of our AI partners. It’s currently free to use, and has a 256k context window. Feel free to discuss your experiences with it here! The post below is the original post from the user who started this thread. I was very excited to…

Seems like they have made significant improvements to it, it can now do complex tasks first try without all the wierd stuff people have been reporting here, at least with max mode. I don’t throw entire codebases at it, so im not sure about performance there. So far I have not had it edit files rando…

just wanted to express my experience with that sonic model. its piece of garbage. thats it. its completely useless and bugged compared to even to local models where i can run that has even image recognition. i think its joke that someone gives this model for free to use it. really not cool time wast…

@condor I also tried again in the past couple of days, and it was much better. They’re updating it for us all the time behind the scenes— until it becomes perfect, and then it won’t be free anymore? :grin:

Qwen3-Coder and GLM 4.5 air must be added to the cursor platform!!! They are cheap and very productive.

it says the model have capacity limits, but I don’t know how many the limit

The model is Grok and is free for testing until 2nd September. [image] Grok Code Out Now (+ Free Week!) Announcements A new Grok model, grok-code-fast-1, is now available in Cursor! It is fast and has competitive pricing ($0.2/1M input, $1.5/1M output). It is…

[image] Condor (Tee): The model is Grok The fact that it doesn’t accept images is a significant drawback— because even when I don’t need an image, I can’t switch to it in the middle of a conversation! If there was an image somewhere earlier in the chat, I can’t let it do anything anymore. …

Good catch! Overall I do not recommend switching models in middle of conversation as that requires sending the whole chat thread to the new provider as context and it can not take advantage of prompt caching at AI provider until the next request or tool call.

[image] yakovw: Why would I need ASK mode? the reason I brought up ask mode is because you said [image] yakovw: I asked it: “Go through the code in this file and suggest improvements.” Before I could even blink, it had already made dozens of changes directly in the file—fast and impress…

This model acts very suspiciously like an anthropic model, the copius use of emojis, the same language , even using the same words. The way it says ‘you are absolutely right!’ all the time.. it’s uncanny, the similarities ..
