Cursor IDE user cites performance issues with Grok 4.7 and reduced third-party model access

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit's r/cursor subreddit expresses disappointment with the recent performance and features of the Cursor IDE. While initially impressed with the generous usage limits and the capabilities of the Grok 4.6 model, the user found Grok 4.7 to be a letdown in terms of performance and cost. Additionally, the user noted a significant decrease in third-party model usage allowances, persistent bugs within cloud sessions and agent spawning, and outdated UI information.
