Customize Chat

Model Selection​

Pick your preferred AI model through the model toggle, and Cursor Chat will use that model to generate responses. You can toggle between models by pressing Ctrl/⌘ /.

By default, Cursor Chat uses OpenAI's GPT-4 for its AI model (specifically, the gpt-4 label points to our instance of GPT4-Turbo).

The AI model you choose for Chat will be saved for future sessions, so you don't have to change it every time you open Cursor Chat.

Settings​

You can customize Cursor chat in Cursor Settings > Features > Chat.

These settings include:

  • Always search web for answers
    • This makes the AI model search the web for up-to-date information on each query.
  • Add chat fade-in animation
    • This adds a smooth animation when AI messages are generated.
  • No context by default
    • This makes the AI model only use your message as context, without including additional context like the current file.
  • Auto-scroll chat
    • This scrolls the chat automatically when AI generates text and you're at the end of the thread.
  • Thin scrollbar in chat area
  • Show chat history when starting new chat
