Cursor imposes Claude model call restrictions on China, fueling Kimi K2 call volume surge

July 17th, according to the developer's actual test and the official notice of Cursor, a famous programmer in the US (updated on July 16th), Cursor has implemented the model access restriction on IP in China, which mainly affects the Claude series of model calls. The restricted users receive a "Model not available" message when using the program, and the official description says "Some models are not available in your region". If Chinese developers want to continue to use the restricted models, they need to use technical means (such as overseas agents) or switch to other available model options (such as Auto mode).
