By not succeeding? It's an also ran, a closed proprietary model which is behind Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and a a bunch of Chinese companies, how do you make money with a produce like that? (besides the absurd IPO of course...)
For 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.
these users are probably losing the company money.
the failure is in converting regular people into actual ai product consumers. Companies are realising that the money is not in regular consumers but in enterprise and they are not considering grok as a serious alternative.
if anything, the name, the branding and the x/twitter affiliation has hurt adoption from money makers rather than help it.
so yes, people know it, but no one is willing to pay for it

At least it didn't succeed yet. They should drop a model somewhere, beating something else in some use case, and maybe people would use.
My company has Claude. People were excited to use Claude. Absolutely no one, despite the option, considered a grok model.

this 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

"my company doesn't use it so no one uses it" - typical out of touch HN commenter.
Given 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.

Seriously though. I haven’t heard anyone use Grok in software engineering context. Maybe I live under a rock.
