Similar thoughts. I have been using this model and find it pretty good and extremely fast. HN comments love to beat up Elon Musk and unfortunately a lot of biased negative reactions to LLMs where everything will get insta downvoted.

To add, if the costs in Cursor are accurate, it’s highly competitive.

  Its free 0x during launch week

    Sure but like every other time this has happened, they show you the cost of the usage if it was not free. Hence my saying if that is correct, which it looks to be, it’s cost efficient. Cursor shows you a breakdown of model and costs, even for models being offered for free.

Do you find it more or less matching what Sonnet 4 does? Grok fast is enticing due to its cheap cost

  Anecdotally it’s coming under sonnet 4 for me but much quicker and if I understand the costs correctly, vastly cheaper. No idea if it’s subsidized or not but I am going to keep playing around with it. My example is it is definitely writing the code I want but with more quirks than sonnet. I only do things in chunks though.

  Not surprised but also have no interest in childlike dialogues like yours.

  I never liked Musk because he always came off to me as your average eccentric bullshit billionaire. But up until his more blatant alignment with conservatives, he was quite widely revered by the left for his promotion and investments in transportation technology, renewable energy, and commercial space endeavors. Funny how things have changed.

    It’s not that, he marketed himself as a science believing climate vigilante billionaire who would rescue humanity. Then he just went mask off. What that has to do with “the left” is because many people in the left believe in climate science so we’re happy to accept the help…weird right ?

      The reason people think Musk has gone mask-off for flipping politically left-right is because my strong suspicions are that really he is pretty centrist with some situational nuance around it. He has some lefty care morality positions, like UBI which contrasts with his libertarian views. If he thinks the left is going too far he jumps right, if he thinks the right is going too far or just flat wrong about something urgent and important he will jump left hard again, make no mistake. He has at varying times supported climate change, maga, UBI, vocally anti Big Beautiful Bill, calling Trump involved with Epstein.... that is quite the mix, and the only one of these positions that actually benefitted him personally/financially was climate change. All his other opinions ultimately hurt him a lot more than it benefitted him. It's not stupidity that makes him support causes that hurts him financially. It's because he thinks it's for the greater good. Was buying twitter financially profitable? It may eventually be. But he tried to back out once he saw just how rotten a deal financially it will turn out for him! A complex guy. Somewhat wings it when the way forward isn't clear. “Twitter is biased. Let's buy Twitter. Oh sht, it's gonna cost me HOW MUCH? And it's profit potential is only THIS? Uhm, let's cancel the deal, was it really binding?“
