Cursor subscription canceled due to degraded AI models and pricing changes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user has canceled their subscription to the AI-powered code editor Cursor, citing a decline in model capabilities and a shift in pricing strategy following Elon Musk's acquisition. The user specifically noted that the models have become less capable, with Composer 3 not yet released and Grok not meeting expectations. They believe Cursor's experience has degraded, making it unsuitable for complex coding tasks and suggesting that the company is intentionally worsening the user experience to push users towards Grok.
