Cursor+ users report Grok 4.7 High model defaulting to new projects

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Users of the Cursor+ code editor are experiencing an issue where newly created projects are defaulting to the Grok 4.7 High model, leading to excessive token usage. This behavior differs from older projects, which correctly default to an 'auto' setting and do not exhibit the same problem when interacting with the Grok bot. While switching the model manually in the UI temporarily resolves the issue, it reverts when the Grok bot takes control of the project. AI

IMPACT Potential for increased costs and inefficient resource usage for developers using Cursor+ with the Grok 4.7 High model.
