Cursor Router
Auto mode is now powered by Cursor Router. Cursor Router is our intelligent model router. It analyzes each request and sends it to the right model for the job. Frontier models handle work that demands them. Price-efficient models handle the rest. #Optimization modes Select Auto, then choose how the router optimizes: Intelligence: Frontier quality, matching the most expensive and powerful models that might be out of reach for daily use. Balance: Strong quality, matching the frontier models that most people like to daily drive. Cost: Good quality, reaching the highest available intelligence while optimizing token spend. Balance and Intelligence bill at the routed model’s rate. Each mode moves you along the cost-intelligence pareto frontier. #Admin controls Admins can enable the router per team or group, restrict which optimization modes members can use, set the default mode, and allow or block underlying models. Cursor Router is available across desktop, web, iOS, CLI, and our SDK. It is on by default for Teams plans. Enterprise admins can enable it from the dashboard. Learn more in our announcement and docs.
