Occasionally I’ve used some of the Anthropic models in it but found their cost massively outweighed the benefits for the type of usage we do

Helped: Competitive pricing and generous usage limits of first-party models.

Got in the way: Anthropic models' cost massively outweighed the benefits.

… The first party cursor models (initially composer and now grok-cursor) and price very competitively for their quality and have very generous usage limits included in the base plans, and then per token pricing afterwards. Occasionally I’ve used some of the Anthropic models in it but found their cost massively outweighed the benefits for the type of usage we do. I was using Sonnet 4.5 and 4.6 for a while but the newer models are a lot more expensive at the per-token pricing.
