Grok is not the best model around, but it's decent. It gets the basic job done at a low price. I don't think it can advance frontier Math, yet.

It is also not annoying to use. It doesn’t overcomplicate things, and its quick. Much better than eg GLM 5.2. Pretty good bang for the buck.

Probably can't advance frontier math yet, yeah. But please let us know other places you want to see Grok improve for future models!

    Grok doesn’t have those features, and people who like to make adult content have been complaining for a while how Grok has made it a lot harder to do so.

        You’re asking for deepfake porn creation and for children? What the heck is wrong with you???

  I recently decided to get an AI subscription and evaluated Grok vs chatgpt. Went with Grok because it's all-around good enough at day to day stuff, integrates with my Tesla, and the image/video generation is great. Kids love whimsical videos of them riding dinosaurs. Feedback: I'd like Grok to have more connectors (I see OpenAI just added Apple Health, that would be nice to have, and I wish it could read my Onenote notebooks) and for existing ones to be improved. I gave it access to my gmail and asked it "what was my last electricity bill?". It failed to find it, even when I told it the exact subject line to search for. Something about not getting any data back when trying to get the email contents.

    None of that has anything to do with the model - your issues are all with the harness/app you used...

      Yes. Grok is a harness/app as well as a model.

  What's the latest on Composer 3? Is it a sort of distilled Grok?

    We plan to eventually have another model at that weight class, but right now trying to train the best possible model.

  Not the model but the app - with Claude I can work on my mac using Cloud environments, leave the office, open Claude on my phone and respond. I can't change model if I have to stop that workflow. Does xAI have plans to do Mac/iOS apps with cloud environments? When can we expect them?
