"Source of truth" for premium vs. non-premium models

Especially with the increasing rate of new model releases (referencing the recent addition of deepseek v3 + r1 to cursor), there should be a consolidated and “live” source for which models are premium and which are not.

Right now, it seems like you need to either open a discussion thread in the forum or just trial and error the process yourself to see whether new models are premium. Obviously, cursor knows how it is billing each model, so it seems trivial to me to add a model classification next to the model name in the model settings tab whenever a new model is added. Additionally, a living documentation page (or pinned forum thread) with the same information would be an excellent supplement to use as reference.

Edit: in that supplementary documentation and/or in model settings, having a table of model+functionality compatibility would be great, as opposed to trial and error. (Ie, a table with models vs. chat, cmd+k, composer, composer agent, etc.)

+1 for this, please include free or premium like gpt-4o-mini (free) something like this in model selection. Or list all models free/premium on the site.

Hey, we’ve recently added a page to our docs for this, but let us know what you think:

excellent thanks.

Perhaps direct to this instead of the incorrect info about models in the account settings page?

Thank you for posting this here! And apologies for missing it first time around. I think overall this does cover what I was looking for, though it is missing the “experimental” models like the gemini series. Is the assumption that all of these are non-premium?

Additionally, having that premium check on the model selector/settings page I do think would be helpful, along with the functionality compatible with each model w.r.t. composer, agents, etc.

thanks for your help Dan!

Yeah, right now, the Gemini models are non-premium.

We are hoping to improve the visibility of the models in editor soon!
