The ones that don’t charge you.
When you go to select a LLM look closely. It indicates which are pay.

I thought this same thing at first, but its not that simple.
Photo 1) Claude Sonnet 3.5 has no pop-up regarding cost per request.
Photo 2) Gemini 2.5 it shows pop-up that explains the cost per request.
Photo 3) Running Claude Sonnet 3.5 cursor logs indicate one request used.
Photo 4) Grok-3-mini, no pop-up = no request cost
Photo 5) shows Grok three mini included in Pro Zero requests with no pop up
Hard to determine what is considered “FREE MODELS” without going through each one.

In my opinion, out of all free models available, Gemini Flash 2.5 is the best performing model for free models.

Do they do your code edits as well?
No! Only the Claude model is well optimized
Thanks @DaveS for posting our model pricing page! This is the source of truth for how much a given model costs in Cursor.
We are working to improve the in-app experience here - many have already noticed the popup cards that occur when hovering a model, but we are still in the process of fully rolling these out to state the cost and model behaviour!

Btw, deepseek v3.1 is free too, it’s missing from docs page but it is present in model selection inside cursor. I alternate between 2.5 flash and ds v3.1 depending on how wordy answer I need.

Will add DeepSeek 3.1 to the docs, thanks for flagging!
can we use Deepseek v3.1 for agent mode in 0.5?
Since DS3.1 don’t support functionTool calling during the process, it may not be launched in 0.5.x … 
hope can be resolved next version
Last week I tried to call sequentialthinking w d3.1 and its working
