If politics isn’t a concern, why not just use deepseek?
- timr 2mo agoI am trying all of them. At this time, for me, Grok hits the sweet spot of quality, speed, cost and ease of use. I’m absolutely “hot money” when it comes to coding models. These things are commodities.
- thefourthchime 2mo agoI recently tried a Cursor ultra and Grokbot. Holy shit, dude. Half the coding I do is for my phone now because Cursor Ultra agents have their own VMs that are spun up specifically for each project. Grok bot has a bunch of agents that'll share a VM and they can do pretty much anything you can do digitally. Right on I have them checking slick deals every morning for a pellet smoker. I had it book a date night for me. I had it fix one of my projects by rebuilding my website and republishing it and then checking one of the container runs to see if it has errors on it. I had a call different banks to figure out which phone navigation tree to get through and put someone on the phone for me, and then call me The list just goes on and on.
- lostmsu 2mo agoDeepSeek is much dumber at the moment. It's barely better than Qwen3.8 27B that you can run locally.
- seanmcdirmid 2mo agoI run both (I have an max with 64GB if ram, so local models get used a lot) and DeepSeek is definitely smarter in my experience. But again, I have my own way of using it that works for me.
