Cursor AI chat tool ends bundled third-party model access

Cursor has updated its pricing tiers, removing bundled third-party model usage from all plans. Previously, plans like Pro and Pro+ included allowances for models such as Claude and GPT, but these are now separate purchases billed on top of the new subscription costs. While this change may benefit users who primarily use the Grok models, those relying on third-party AI models will see increased monthly expenses. AI

IMPACT Users relying on third-party models like Claude and GPT will face higher costs with Cursor's new pricing structure.
