From what I can gather Grok is not used for roleplay much. It is considered to inconsistant and crazy.
People are mostly using GLM and Deepseek via API and Gemma4 and Mistral finetunes locally.
It seems to me like the roleplay market is comparatively old and mature and users have developed cost consciousness and like models to follow their workflow/preferences. So something like Opus is liked for its smartness but considered too expensive and opinionated.
Might be an interesting data point for how the other markets might develop in the future.
- vel0city 5mo agoIt ships with a roleplay feature. https://grok.com/ani https://grok.com/ani
- Hfuffzehn 5mo agoSure, but the best statistics about what models people are actually using when they can choose is probably from openrouter: https://openrouter.ai/apps/category/entertainment/roleplay https://openrouter.ai/apps/category/entertainment/roleplay
- cyanydeez 5mo agodoesnt knowing about openrouter skew by self selection.
- Hfuffzehn 5mo agoYes, but that market is not b2b, less commercialized, more end consumer focused and more bring your own key. That's why I find it interesting. Anthropic is not interested in building a moat there and OpenAI has given up on their announcement of exploring it. So you can see end users making decisions.
- cyanydeez 5mo agobut those end users are a self selected specialized group that won't represent how jim bob in rural nowhere is going to work with Grok 4.3 to refine their racism.
- 2ndorderthought 5mo agoThat doesn't mean it's good at it
- standardly 5mo agoThe grok companions still aren't available on Android :( Such a wasted market opportunity I'm not an anime person, but I thought the waifus were kind of endearing and seemed like a much better experience for casual prompting
