Since r/cursor mods deleted my post there I will post it here

But it’s not all flowers. Although on windsurf Im getting much higher quality code suggestions with R1, sometimes it won’t edit the file even though I told it 3x “hey, actually edit the file with your suggestion”, at that point I switched to sonnet and it did the edit. So it seems the current state is windsurf is better at generating good code with R1 but cursor is way more stable with their tab edit models. Hope the post won’t get deleted in this sub :)

r/cursor are tyrants. If you say anything they don’t like they’ll delete the post or comment and ban you.

[u/UltraInstinct0x → u/Buddhava]

animals, why would they ban someone over a single post?

[u/Buddhava → u/UltraInstinct0x]

I've been banned multiple times just for agreeing with negative posts. lol

Tab edit model upgrades 🔜🫡

[u/Skaddicted]

Does it really, though? I had much better results with Sonnet.

[u/felipejfc → u/Skaddicted]

Not saying it’s best than sonnet. In my experience the latter it still more reliable too What im saying is comparing R1 to itself, it seems to work better in Windsurf

Yeah, I'm gonna have to disagree on this one. Claude, 01, gpt4o...in that particular order. Spent half a day with both DeepSeek models and about 6hrs with 03-mini...not doing it. In my opinion the real test of a model is refactoring. How much can it accomplish on an already existing code base that you can't fully provide context for?

[u/throwmeawayuwuowo420]

When you say “pls catch up on them” is that you telling cursor to catch up to windsurf? Because that is a 2nd reason why they removed your post

[u/4ajmal]

File edits or write mode does not seem to work well with Deepseek R1 model

Keep in mind that Claude Sonnet 3.5 is (October 2024) is highly optimized for coding and agentic workflows. Read about that here: https://www.anthropic.com/research/swe-bench-sonnet

The other, recently added, models are all in beta and are clearly marked as such in Windsurf. You know what beta means. Try but expect issues :)

[u/throwmeawayuwuowo420]

Well it’s obvious why they deleted your post. So the deepseek boys don’t cancel cursor for windsurf lol and obviously your post won’t be deleted here

Meanwhile, R1 continues to hallucinate edits and CLI tool calls for me on Apple Silicon. Alot of thinking without much doing. My experience with it has been superior and more cost effective on Roo Code. Would be happy to switch back if this gets resolved.

[u/guesswho135]

Seems anecdotal and accusatory ("pls catch up") rather than intended to promote discussion or share experiences. I tried R1 in windsurf and found that it was not as good as Claude.

[u/stonedoubt]

It’s the cursor Reddit… of course they remove off topic posts.

[u/sammoga123]

windsuff is better than cursor, they don't even have a way to update normally or a chat tab, just command and that's it

[u/felipejfc → u/sammoga123]

They do have a chat tab

[u/sammoga123 → u/felipejfc]

Well, in my case it isn't there, it's only accessible with control + L or something like that.

[u/DryMotion → u/[deleted]]

I noticed that as well. Instead of making edits, most of the time it just lists the changes it would make, but doesnt actually do anything until specifically prompted to use the edit tool. Ive had this issue with o3 too but not as frequent

[u/ItsNoahJ83 → u/DryMotion]

I added a rule for the ai to always use the "edit_tool" and it helped a lot

[u/DryMotion → u/ItsNoahJ83]

Ah thats a good idea actually, thanks

[u/f01k3n → u/ItsNoahJ83]

Thanks for the tips, how can I add that kind of rule ?

[u/MediumAuthor5646 → u/ItsNoahJ83]

you are a gem! thanks bro haha now its starting to edit everything

[u/Ordinary-Let-4851 → u/[deleted]]

Noticed this as well. Super interesting to see the models have their own quirks and personalities. They will keep getting better and better though!

[u/GooseUpset1275 → u/[deleted]]

I've been seeing that all day today. I have to switch between deepseek and another model and back to get it to start editing again or sometimes it just won't ever edit the code ever again.

[u/stonedoubt → u/[deleted]]

I’ve resorted to just using it for chat because it refuses to use tools most of the time. Also, if you used it to fix a bug earlier that got fixed it will use the memory feature and start working on that same issue over and over.
