When should I use different AI models with Cursor?

Use frontier models like Sonnet 4.5 and GPT-5 for the most complex tasks.

Can you rely on Cursor's autocomplete to reduce typing without causing frequent corrections?

Yes. Autocomplete reduces manual typing and generates accurate code from comments. It works consistently across languages and helps recall syntax, though occasional corrections may still be needed.

Cursor or Claude Code?

I love @Cursor. It's enabled me to build (vibe code) so many web apps, sites, extensions, and little things quickly that 1. bring me joy and 2. help me with work or realize personal projects.
However... I'm seeing a TON of movement around @Claude by Anthropic's Claude Code. I haven't personally tried it but it's apparently insane (and can also be expensive?)
I'm curious. Should I switch? What are you currently using? Or do they both have their own use case. I right now like cursor because I can build directly in a GitHub repo or locally and it helps me learn my way around an IDE.
Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts!

Cursor or Claude Code?

+5 stars: I am the first batch of early adopters to use cursor. I can see many great breakthrough in terms of UX. In the early days, there was no agent, just apply change. I become 5x more productive writing code in one file just list the method names. Then there was a major update that many actions introduced and really confusing. But the team rapidly unified the UX by introducing the all-in-one agent concept. I become 2x more productive by just writing the readme of a root folder. I would say It is a life saver and door opener for me. -1 star: I spend more time on cursor (enjoying making things) and additive to these productivity boosting. It has been charging more and more, not good for me as an AI-addictive.
