Cursor Now Supports Claude 4.1 Opus Model
1 min
Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.1 on the evening of August 5th (Beijing time). By 3 AM on August 6th, I discovered that Cursor already supports Claude Opus 4.1, and it’s even enabled by default in the settings, as shown below:
Cursor Model claude-4.1-opus
What’s New in Claude Opus 4.1?
Anthropic has provided an official comparison chart showing how Claude Opus 4.1 stacks up against Claude Opus 4, Claude Sonnet 4, OpenAI o3, and Gemini 2.5 Pro:
Comparison of Claude Opus 4.1 with Claude Opus 4, Claude Sonnet 4, OpenAI o3, and Gemini 2.5 Pro
As for pricing, Anthropic states that it’s the same as Claude Opus 4. So we can expect Cursor’s billing method and pricing to remain the same as when selecting Claude-4-Opus.
I just tested it out by using Claude-4.1-Opus (Thinking) to translate this blog post into English. The results were pretty good, and it took about 20 requests to complete.
A few days ago, when Claude 4 dropped, Cursor hopped on it right away, and after using it for two days, it's pretty decent!Compared to the claude-3.7-sonnet(thinking) model, here are the immediate pros I've noticed (still updating):
OpenAI released GPT-5 on Aug 7. Cursor added support immediately, with eight variants: GPT-5, GPT-5-fast, GPT-5-high, GPT-5-low, GPT-5-high-fast, GPT-5-low-fast, GPT-5-nano, and GPT-5-mini.
Today I discovered that Cursor has automatically updated to v1.4.0, and just now I received another update notification. After restarting, I found it had been updated to v1.4.1.
