Users of the Cursor IDE are discussing how to best utilize its AI capabilities by differentiating tasks based on their complexity and cost. The core question revolves around which specific coding tasks, such as finding relevant files or proposing implementation plans, warrant the use of the most powerful and expensive AI models. Conversely, simpler, repetitive tasks like cleanup or documentation might be better suited for lower-cost AI options, though users acknowledge that subtle mistakes from cheaper models can lead to increased rework and overall higher costs.
