The funny thing is it doesn’t even code well. It’s still worse than OpenAI, Anthropic, and the leading open source models.
So you get worse outcomes while also financially supporting one of the most prolific pushers of race wars, the destruction of labor rights, environmental protections, and general misinformation.
Truly a win-win?
Contrary to your framing it seems to only reason to use Grok at this point would be ideological.
It's a better deal compared to those is what I said. It codes well enough so that's why people use it. As I said, go to r/cursor and you'll find loads of people using it while OpenAI and Anthropic are more expensive per token and give less usage.
