Summary: Cursor makes Composer 1.5 the default model

Why It Matters: The product is shifting its primary user experience toward its own custom model rather than relying on external models like GPT-5.2 as the first choice for users.

What Changed:

  • Swapped the default model in the "Ask Cursor" interface from GPT-5.2 to Composer 1.5.
  • Reordered the model selection list to prioritize Composer 1.5 at the top.
  • Removed the language selector footer containing English, Chinese, and Japanese options.
