Cursor IDE subagents fail to use configured models, frustrating users

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Despite attempts to specify models like GPT-5.6 Luna/Terra through configuration files and settings, the subagents continue to default to GPT-5.6 Sol. This behavior suggests that the parent model may be overriding the user's specific configurations, leading to frustration and a desire to switch to alternative tools like Codex. AI
