Why it matters
A real-time look at which model people actually reach for inside Cursor when speed matters under a deadline — a visible routing choice, not a vendor's default config buried in settings.
The tokenmaxxing angle
The event explicitly pairs Cursor with Grok 4.5 rather than Cursor's own default model — an unscripted model-routing decision made by everyday builders racing a one-hour clock, not a recommended-config slide.
From the organizers
Hosted by newsletter writer Evan, inspired by Cursor Founding Designer Ryo Lu's personal site; attendees build with Cursor plus Grok 4.5 during a one-hour hacktime block, judged for a prize afterward.
