Cursor is updating its pricing structure for its AI assistant, Auto, effective August 24, 2026. The new model will base costs on the specific AI model each request is routed to, moving away from a flat-rate system. This change is intended to allow for the use of more cost-efficient models for routine tasks, though it may result in higher costs for most users compared to the current flat rate. Additionally, Cursor is increasing the included usage limits for its Cursor Models, including Auto, on existing plans. AI
