From what I can gather Grok is not used for roleplay much. It is considered to inconsistant and crazy. People are mostly using GLM and Deepseek via API and Gemma4 and Mistral finetunes locally. It seems to me like the roleplay market is comparatively old and mature and users have developed cost consciousness and like models to follow their workflow/preferences. So something like Opus is liked for its smartness but co…

It ships with a roleplay feature. https://grok.com/ani

Sure, but the best statistics about what models people are actually using when they can choose is probably from openrouter: https://openrouter.ai/apps/category/entertainment/roleplay

When I look at the person behind it all, I have to wonder how the hell people can even consider using grok? Or using Twitter? Or any of that. Using any of those things puts money in Musk's pockets and further enables and encourages him to continue being a Neo-Nazi wannabe. Do they think it's just a phase?

Do you drive BMW or VW car? Boy do I have news for you!

Go on...make your case

202.7 tok/s is only OK speed? Which providers are you using that are significantly better than that?

for reference, it's the 2nd fastest model tracked in the "Highlights" section of https://artificialanalysis.ai/

That section misses Cerebras and Groq which are up to 5x faster.

Isn't grok currently holding the world record for the biggest generator of CSAM? Or did they change focus to enhance their racism and propaganda vertical? Things move so quickly these days hard to keep up!

> Isn't grok currently holding the world record for the biggest generator of CSAM? I'm not sure I see how that's possible, given their image/video generation seems to be heavily censored. Do they have some alternative product besides "Imagine" or whatever it's called, that people use for generating CSAM? Judging by https://old.reddit.com/r/grok (but I haven't validated it myself), it seems like people are complaining…

Please don't validate any of this personally that would be illegal.

I think the proportion of people generating images that way is likely very low. Though I am sure it is possible.

I've tried Grok, Gemini and ChatGPT. There have been 2 times now where Gemini and ChatGPT confidently gave me an incorrect answer whereas Grok was correct. I'm now paying for Grok Lite or whatever it is $10 plan. The first question was around setting up timers for a Fox ESS battery in Home Assistant and disconnecting Fox ESS from the cloud. The second was around cornering speed in Sunnypilot and Frogpilot. Somewhat n…

>if an AI is confidently telling you something wrong it's hard to work with. But they all do that. It just comes with the territory. Grok will absolutely do the same thing another time you try it.

It is really, really genuinely concerning how many people think there are profound measurable differences between these things.

Like yeah tonally I guess there are. But with regard to references and information? You’re literally just using three different slot machines and claiming one is hot.

I suppose though I shouldn’t be that surprised then since Vegas and every other casino on Earth has been built on duping people in that exact way.

This project is a gigantic waste of resources, it’s fine tuned on politics of the CEO, was used for CSAM generation and just sucks overall

I like that there are models with divergent politics; the status quo being creepy corporate left silicon valley is not healthy or pleasant to interact with. Even with grock it's only broadening things to creepy corporate right of silicon valley.

Silicon Valley...left? Huh?

Grok 4.3 was completed ahead of its CEO’s lesson on this common safety resource: Asked if he knew anything about OpenAI's "safety card," Musk smiled and replied: "Safety card? Why would it be a card?" https://www.axios.com/2026/04/30/musk-openai-safety-grok Low relevancy in spite of cluster size and musical chair gas generators for time being: Later in his testimony, Musk was asked about a claim he made last summer t…

Seriously though, why is it a model "card", safety "card"? I had to lookup to learn that it comes from HuggingFace's vague definition of "README" in the model's repo. This is such a specific thing that I don't think anyone except a very small population would know - not the users, not the c-suites.

I don't like Musk or Grok. But not knowing what's a safety card is not a signal of anything IMO.
