A robot is sprinting towards you. Do you want it running on Claude or Grok?

If the robot appears to be bringing me a taco, it would probably penetrate all of my defenses. Grok is currently more likely than Claude to arrive with the taco without being stopped by an export control directive.

They're already testing that taco delivery in Ukraine https://time.com/article/2026/03/09/ai-robots-soldiers-war/

Ya know, maybe we could just not have robots that sprint. Seems people would be more willing to accept living amongst robots that are slow and that humans could easily over power.

> maybe we could just not have robots that sprint That would make it less effective in situations that would be better handled if sprinting was a feature.

Thinking about that - seems to me that a lot of situations where sprinting is called for might be better served by a flying robot.

A self driving car is taking you to the hospital. Do you want it to follow the speed limit and all road safety laws? Claude or Grok?

Claude would break the rules in that example. It's supposed to*.

Grok will break the rules to be "maximally based".

If I get run over by a speeding chatbot, I'd rather it be by Claude rushing a pregnant lady to the hospital, than by Grok drag-racing against a car full of frat boys.

> I dropped eleven LLMs into a 2D battle royale and made them play 30 games. One won 43% of the matches. Three never won a single game. The cheapest model in the lineup beat the most expensive one by 27x on cost per win. Please learn how to write with AI without giving away that it was written by AI.

How do you know this is written by AI? Why does it matter if it is?

If you're outsourcing your writing to AI, I assume you're outsourcing your thinking to it as well. And I don't really care what some weighted average of all human text written on the topic "thinks."

DeepSeek V4 Flash being the winner in cost efficiency causes me exactly zero surprise. It's a monster at coding. And a fast monster at that. I use it daily and have been testing if MiMo 2.5 (non pro) is comparable. The nice thing about MiMo is that it has vision capability.

Notably it has 0 wins.

Friendo, this is an anti-benchmark to figure out which AI is more likely to kill you.

If you point both at some github issues you can gauge their relative ability to solve problems.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What if the car can talk you through the medical procedure?

How many times have you been to a hospital and thought, I could have fixed that myself if only I'd known how? With no equipment. In my case, never.

At least one time. Considering it's the only time I've been to the hospital for myself in the last 25 years, though, that's a lot! :)

> I didn’t add any frontier-tier models like Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5, or Gemini Ultra. At their prices, 30 games would have cost around $3,000 instead of $482. I have a lot of thoughts unrelated to the game experiment but more about how these opus/ultra size models can possibly be a financially viable product at scale when it costs $3000 to play 30 simple games. It just seems much much higher than what it would cost to get…

> It just seems much much higher than what it would cost to get a human to play 30 rounds

You mean almost like it was super short sighted to do a ton of layoffs when the AI tech is going to cost almost as much, if not more, than the humans it replaced?

Yeah, you don't need Opus level for everything, and sonnet has gotten fairly decent I'm using it more and more, but still for most tasks I'm working with, Opus is the only one that still regularly succeeds.

So if the tech is only useful on the most expensive tier, that's not going to be sustainable for long unless costs and dramatically come down, and fast.
