cursor 0.50 version provide a new MAX Mode
but still exist max model in model setting, like: Claude-3.7-sonnet-max、Claude-3.7-sonnet-thinking-max、gemini-2.5-pro-max

what the difference between Max Mode and max Model ?

and why replace “thinking” keyword in thinking model, that maybe cause extra usage cost

I’m also curious about the difference between them. I wonder if someone could explain it.

There is no separation between Max models and MAX Mode.

Basically MAX Mode allows you to use more context and capabilities of advanced models. Now all those advanced models have a MAX mode, they are not listed as separate -max models anymore.

See Docu for Models > you can turn on MAX mode to see the difference, check there the details of handling and cost in MAX mode
