# Cursor Model Selection
## Overview
Choose models by task risk, reasoning needs, data-handling policy, latency, and approved spend—not by apparent confidence in a single response.
## Prerequisites
- The organization's approved model/provider list and data-routing constraints.
- A defined task, budget/latency expectation, and normal human review/test path.
## Instructions
1. Use an approved economical model for simple explanations or edits; escalate only for a defined complex task.
2. Confirm the model's data-handling route before attaching proprietary or regulated content.
