Which ai model should I use?

Hello,
I use Cursor for my Next JS and React Native projects. Which Ai model would you recommend using it?

Hey there, I am using Cursor for the exact same tech stacks. I like to use claude-3.5-sonnet or deepseek-r1, depending on the task. Claude is great for easier smaller things, as it is quite fast, whereas deepseek is a bit slower but great for more complex tasks.

Those are really the only ones I use.

If you are going to use composer a lot then sonnet-3.5 is your friend otherwise you can come up with some sort of a workflow like getting plan done with deepseek and then let sonnet implement it etc.
Keep in mind - AI makes mistakes and not always provide best, modern or optimized code solution.

@diyardev Iā€™d recommend using R1 in Chat for planning and then sonnet 3.5 in composer for executing.

Make sure you add relevant cursor rules for best performance.
