My company has Claude. People were excited to use Claude. Absolutely no one, despite the option, considered a grok model.

My company has Claude. People were excited to use Claude. Absolutely no one, despite the option, considered a grok model.
- ballon_monkey 4mo ago"my company doesn't use it so no one uses it" - typical out of touch HN commenter.
- mthoms 4mo agoGiven that Grok is selling all of the compute capacity from its flagship data centre out to a direct competitor sorta speaks for itself. Does it mean they are out of the race? I have no idea, but things don't look great. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48037986 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48037986
- rtehfm 4mo agoThey're only selling compute from Colossus 1.
- scheme271 4mo agoThere's a HN article and discussion about Anthropic expanding to use Colossus 2. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48214017 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48214017 I think it's fairly clear that grok isn't using as much compute as expected.
- bjelkeman-again 4mo agoSeriously though. I haven’t heard anyone use Grok in software engineering context. Maybe I live under a rock.
- youre-wrong3 4mo agoThere are more uses to AI than just software engineering…
- Saline9515 4mo agoFor a lot of people, Grok is the first AI they got to use through Twitter. Grok does get quite a lot of usage, and isn't out of the game - coding tools aren't the only use case for AI.
- bdangubic 4mo agothis is like saying people still use google glass. sure, some people might but AI-wise it is as dead of a product as it gets
- Saline9515 4mo agoGoogle glass has been discontinued? Besides, many people use it on Twitter everyday. Usage is not limited to what you can see on the Openrouter dashboard.
- bdangubic 4mo agomany people use copilot inside outlook to auto-complete their sentences as well :)
- Saline9515 4mo agoMeaning that Copilot is actually a success, even if you don't like it ;-)
- pqtyw 4mo agoBecause Microsoft managed to sell it to a huge number of companies, not directly because people are using it. Hardly anyone is paying for Grok.
- Saline9515 4mo agoUS government is paying for Grok to help it send bombs on Iranians. That's a use case.
