Set model to GPT-4o but GPT-4 is used instead

Screenshots

I'm using Cursor free plan with my OpenAI API key. I opted to send all of my prompts to GPT-4o, but the OpenAI responses are coming from GPT-4.

My Cursor settings:

My OpenAI usage history:

Looks like a few requests were sent to GPT-4o initially but then all got sent to GPT-4 afterwards.

Operating system

MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1 on an M1 Pro Max

Steps to reproduce

The usual workflow:

• Cursor settings > Models > Add gpt-4o under Model Names and enable it
• Cursor settings > Enter the API key under OpenAI API Key and click Verify
• In the Cursor sidebar chat, toggle to use gpt-4o before sending a prompt

What I've tried

• Quitting and reopening the Cursor app
• Removing and adding back the gpt-4o model in settings
• Restarting my computer

I've also had this which has cost me close to $50. This needs to be critical. Obviously won't use Cursor till it's fixed.
Also on Mac Sonoma with Intel.

EDIT:
Using 'gpt-4o-2024-05-13' gives me gpt 3??

I have the same issue, but I'm on Windows.

@truell20 Updates mate? Seems to have gone quiet here. Someone should at least be watching the issues for critical bugs and responding.

@c4mz @bjornsyse @Am0stafa Were you all able to figure out a fix or an alternative? Not sure if we'll hear from Cursor's team on this.

Hi mate, they have a post on their forum about it also: https://forum.cursor.com/t/gpt-4-0613-is-being-used-instead-of-gpt-4o/5734/10

But I completely reinstalled mine and made sure to delete all folders and settings. I believe this has worked. Been using it for days now and only 4o is showing up on usage.

Same issue.

By the way, asking LLMs about themselves (e.g. its model name GPT-4o) will not give the correct answer, as its training parameters are not part of its training data. Your usage seems to be good evidence, though.

FYI looks like Cursor's recent update (0.35.1) fixed this issue for me.
