Cursor is also very user-unfriendly in providing alternative models to use in composer (agent). There's a heavy reliance on Anthrophic for cursor.

Try using Gemini thinking with Cursor. It barely works. Cmd-k outputs the thinking into the code. Its unusable in chat because the formatting sucks.

Is there some relationship between Cursor and Anthropic, i wonder. Plenty of other platforms seem very eager to give users model flexibility, but Cursor seems to be lacking.

I could be wrong, just an observation.

Originally, actually there was a relationship between Cursor & OpenAI. Something like Cursor was supported by the OpenAI startup fund. So Cursor seems to have branched out. I think they are just emphasizing the models they find most effective. I'm surprised they haven't (apparently) incorporated Claude prompt caching yet for Sonnet.
