Now in this chat, no matter if it's here in the sidebar or
separate window, you get various things you can change.
And again, the exact UI will also change over time
features, of course, are the same.
Uh, for example, you can pick the AI model you wanna use
just as before, you can also add new models here by
clicking here and be taken to the, uh, options here where you
can register new models. And as new models
become available, some models need to be explicitly enabled
available in your chat. So you might wanna check that
which you would like to use. Many models also have this
deep think mode here, this brain mode, which means they
can maybe tackle more complex tasks.
And then there is this max mode which means you're fine with including
more context, more files, more information, which can
produce better results but which will also burn more
tokens, which are, in the end, the fuel for which you're paying every
month. So depending on your plan, you have more or less Cursor
usage included. And with max mode, you'll burn through your
allowed usage quicker, which means you might need to, uh,
top up, you need to buy more tokens, or wait for the next month to
begin. So you'll wanna be careful with that.
Auto means that you let Cursor choose which model to use
for a certain prompt, and whilst that, of course,
removes a lot of the control you have, this
actually is a mode that gives you unlimited usage
Because for the top models, there is limited usage, again,
depending on your plan. In auto mode, Cursor will use cheaper
models behind the scenes whenever it makes sense, and therefore they guarantee
you unlimited usage because they can always fall back to these cheaper
models. I typically use max mode with the top
have the premium plan, and that gives me the best results.
But you can tweak this and adjust this for your exact
requirements.
