Cursor cuts Claude Sonnet 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol, replaces Gemini 3.6 Flash

Cursor (Anysphere) pricing

Cursor's Other Models pool got cheaper: Claude Sonnet 5 down ~33% (input $3 to $2, output $15 to $10 per 1M tokens), GPT-5.6 Sol down ~20-33% ($5/$30 to $4/$20), and Gemini 3.7 Flash replaced Gemini 3.6 Flash at roughly half the per-token rate.

Before

Claude Sonnet 5: $3 input / $3.75 cache write / $0.3 cache read / $15 output per 1M tokens. Gemini 3.6 Flash: $1.5 / - / $0.15 / $7.5. GPT-5.6 Sol: $5 / $6.25 / $0.5 / $30.

After

Claude Sonnet 5: $2 / $2.5 / $0.2 / $10 per 1M tokens. Gemini 3.7 Flash: $0.75 / - / $0.075 / $3.5. GPT-5.6 Sol: $4 / $5 / $0.4 / $20.

Cursor’s Models & Pricing docs continue passing through third-party model API pricing at cost inside the Other Models usage pool — the same mechanic that cut GPT-5.6 Luna and Terra on 2026-08-11. This time Claude Sonnet 5 dropped roughly a third across every rate dimension, GPT-5.6 Sol dropped 20-33%, and Gemini 3.6 Flash was retired in favor of Gemini 3.7 Flash at about half the old per-token price. Cursor also added Grok 4.6 and Grok 4.6 (Fast) to the first-party Cursor Models pool alongside the existing Grok 4.5 line, at the same rates as Grok 4.5 except a lower Fast-mode output rate ($12 vs. $18 per 1M tokens). Plan-level pricing (Hobby free, Pro $20, Pro Plus $60, Ultra $200, Teams Standard $40 / Premium $120, Start ₹649 India) was unchanged, and Cursor’s Yearly billing toggle was confirmed to apply a 20% discount (Pro $16/mo, Teams Standard $32/user/mo).
