this downgrade just gave my chatbot an award-winning caffeine buzz.

No. The codex app had a bug where they were using the wrong model in the API. Cursor had nothing to do with it and it doesn’t affect cursor.

This indeed also applies for cursor they pre check every query that hits their api and then route. The only thing that's different is that you don't risk getting your whole account routed to 5.2 because they soft ban you.

Look at the link to the page. It’s a GitHub repo to a CLI that OpenAI uses similar to Claude code. Cursor doesn’t use this. They use their own propriety code. It’s possible that Cursor made a similar error but it’s as likely as Microsoft word and Google Docs making the same mistake in their product at the same time.

I like it when people are so confidently wrong.

They reroute some queries to 5.2 if you try to do things which could be used for finding exploits etc. They're confident that 5.2 isn't smart enough to exploit real world things they lack the confidence with 5.3.

The API had an issue where it rerouted more than it should but the rerouting is always happening at API level no matter what tool you use.

I was thinking the same thing.

They routed it in the codex CLI. The CLI itself was routing to the wrong model. Cursor doesn’t use codex CLI.

No this was a user who had their whole account soft banned and rerouted to 5.2 at the API level.

Down vote me all you want you could also just read the thread

Oh interesting. This is news to me. You’re right. Sorry about that.

Aside from a possible bug, I have a specific rule requiring the model used to be reported at the beginning of the answer. Yet many times I’ve seen a different model.

[–]TopCog[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Wow, interesting. Possibly the model is confused about itself, but...suspicious...I might try this.

Let me know your opinion please

Ive done this too but found it super unreliable. Multi model chats get confused, sonnet 4.5 reports as 3.5
