Grok has consistently been one of the best models I've used for deep research (no API use). Grok 4 looks even more promising.

Grok's Twitter integration has legitimately been one of the best use cases I've seen. Just being able to ask Grok right within the tweet about context or meaning of any jargon is very useful.
@grok is this true?
A good 30% of Twitter is now just this verbatim.

I think the Grok button that is present on tweets is the best way to ask Grok about tweets. Tagging @grok just spams others' timelines with useless AI responses. The Grok button lets you keep it private.
Personally I think having the option to make grok's response public can be helpful, much like a community note. Let's face it, on reddit or Facebook or YouTube the first thing people do now is go straight to the comments for context or feedback. As they say, the real answer is always in the comments.
Public as the Ai response is often used to mediate two opposing submissions of facts.
A neutral 3rd party.

It still struggles to grok large threads.
Hope FB brings something like this tho. Might be especially useful to summarize/search big groups.
People used to cry how private groups and slack killed forums and hidden info, but I think we have a chance with tools like this.
Particularly useful if you’re an antisemite or white supremacist, it seems.
I had the impression, Grok wasn't on Elon's side when it answered my questions or explained tweets.

While you're not wrong, I feel like they don't make up a significant chunk of @grok's queries. People usually talk about other topics.

Until very recently, it was alt-right people getting frustrated that they couldn't get grok to confirm their delusions. They had tricks to get it to confirm their priors (esp. asking leading questions and demanding a single word response) but they didn't work that well.

I'm surprised by this, OpenAI does much better for me than all the competitors (though I wouldn't consider it good).
The only two areas I've found Grok to be the best at are real time updates and IT support questions.

Can you say what you mean by deep research?
Agent that browses the web, analyzes information, and creates reports. Grok calls it DeepSearch. Similar to gemini/openai deep research.

It's an agentic research mode, grounded with links from the web that reduce or eliminate hallucinations. The results is a very detailed, sometimes 50 page output. Very useful if you're trying to understand a new industry, state-of-the-art on a tech etc.
