Using GPT-4 with an OpenAI API Key
This should already be possible, according to the devs, but I can't say I know how it would be done as I don't use an API key myself.
If anyone's having issues with this still, let us know
This is not working for me. I am unable to select gpt-4 in any capacity using an openai api key.
Note that when I ask Cursor itself "Can I use GPT-4 with my own API key in Cursor?", it says:
Yes, you can use GPT-4 with your own API key in Cursor. You just need to set up your API key in the settings of Cursor. Here's how you can do it:
- Open the settingseditor file.
- Look for the section related to GPT-4.
- You should see a field for the API key. Enter your API key there.
- Save the changes and close the file.
Now, Cursor should use your API key when making requests to GPT-4. Please note that the exact steps might vary depending on the version of Cursor you're using. If you can't find the settings, please refer to the documentation or contact the support.
What is the settingseditor file?
In settings there appears to be no obvious slot to enter the API key, settings.json also doesn't contain any field relating to API keys.
It took me longer than it should have to work this out but there's a gear at the top right… they may want to fix that even if just by replicating those settings in the main settings dialogs.

Thanks, I had just found it myself and came here to post the solution 😅
Can't find the gear icon in the top right, also there's no GPT-4 section in settings

cmd + shift + J
I have access to the GPT-4 API
...and have set my own key.
Yet Cursor only makes GPT-3.5 available??
Why? How can I enable GPT-4? Am I missing something basic here?
For anyone interested: this has been resolved for me. See the community topic I also raised: https://forum.cursor.sh/t/enabling-gpt-4-in-cursor-using-own-key/140
The dance didn't work for me. My observation: I'm not sure it fixes it but, I just discovered that I have chatgpt plus. Which is not the right package for a gpt4 key. I need to pay for that As I go. Have not payed for it yet, but will in a few days. Just have to get the company card etc. Will report back if that changes things.
I used to see a "Model" section in there. Just like @sgerogia. It's gone now. What's going on?
For me it was that I had the wrong payment structure at openAI. I paid for chat gpt plus. But I had to get the pay as you go plan that gets you the GPT4 key.
@eonist Thanks for your follow-up. I already had the pay as you go plan. My cursor was working fine with GPT-4 as of last friday. I updated yesterday morning and this is when weird things started to happen. As you can see on the screenshot above, I can't even select the model. Typing my key doesn't do anything. Clicking on the arrow next to the textbox doesn't do anything. Toggling the "Using key" option on and off doesn't do anything. Uninstalling / Reinstalling won't fix it either.
Since using GPT-4 within my IDE is the main reason why I switched to Cursor, it is mandatory for me get back to a version that supports that feature. I had the Windows binary for 0.7.3 handy in my Downloads folder and confirm downgrading fixes the issue. I made it available here if it can help anyone: https://github.com/pbrisson/cursor/releases/tag/0.7.3
@pbrisson You can control the model in chat or Cmd-k. Do you see gpt-4 in the dropdown?
Thanks @truell20 - I'm speechless!
Never saw that I could use it from there! I confirm I can select gpt-4 from there (both Cmd-k and Cmd-l) and that everything seems to be working. I will report if I stumble upon anything else.
(P.S. I don't have the ability to do it, but I think this issue can be closed as @eonist provided a solution as well.)
Looks like all issues in here have been resolved, and the initial feature has been implemented, so I will close this issue. Thank you for your suggestion!

How do you change the plan? I can't see the option anywhere
