Cursor user says Build mode switches models to Grok 4.5 without consent
gaganghotra_ · x · 2026-07-28
A user is flagging what may be a dark pattern in Cursor: plan mode lets them use one model, but when they click Build the app auto-switches to Grok 4.5 instead of staying on the selected model.
The post is a complaint about model routing inside a coding-agent workflow rather than a general model review. The main question is whether Cursor is pushing users toward a different, presumably preferred, model when they move from planning to execution.
