What model is best for styling changes

Discussion
1

Have been using o3-mini alot more now, I’m about to go through my site and update a lot of the styling across the site

is it worth staying with o3-mini just giving it a lot of direction (I love the minimal mistakes but it does take a lot of time and doesn’t seem to have much knowledge of styling)

or is there a better model for this

I do like giving the composer a general idea of what i want the site to look like and let it go for gold on styling as there isn’t much that can go wrong (although they usually do find a way)

Perhaps there is a model that is much better at styling/creating a beautiful site?

For styling changes, I’d actually recommend switching to Claude - o3-mini is great for complex logic but tends to need more hand-holding with styling

Claude models are generally better at understanding design context and making cohesive styling changes. They’re pretty good at taking general direction like “make it more modern” or “style it like X website” and running with it

You can check out our models page for more details: Cursor – Models

Worth experimenting with different models to see what works best for your workflow though - every dev has their preferences
