Why not... Cursor?
- ajyoon 5mo agoCursor's coverage on open weight models is very minimal, and it's irrelevant for testing models in your actual application.
- 827a 5mo agoCursor only supports a single model (Kimi K2.5) not made by the Big 4 labs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI). Cursor is actually extremely bad at wide model support. OpenCode is much better at it.
- anon7000 5mo agoAnd its own model (Composer 2.5)
- ascorbic 5mo agoWhich is finetuned Kimi 2.5
- 827a 5mo agoCursor is functionally "one of the big 4 labs" (SpaceX).
- senordevnyc 5mo agoFirst, calling xAI one of the big labs is pretty funny. Second, Cursor hasn’t been acquired by SpaceX yet, and there’s a good chance they never will be.
- largbae 5mo agoI use Cursor with OpenRouter for some projects and it's great. Most of the time I just use Auto and let Cursor use its model or choose. If I run out of quota, or I'm not getting what I want, I switch off Auto and use OpenRouter to pick Opus, Codex, or whoever(all are available). Can continue the same context if you want, type "please continue" in the agent prompt, and on you go.
- zenoprax 5mo agoCursor has limits even when using your own key. I was even cut off using a local model. I guess they use some sort of harness that requires non-local resources? I'm not sure I've actually tried to use Cursor in a fully-offline scenario yet. Cline works well enough and doesn't require any sign-up.
