#2I think this is more of a reflection that chinese labs are full of extremely capable people and it's not something that is trivial to replicate.

#3As much as I hate to say this, I'm afraid that Musk is abusing his capital power and Grok Build will end up as the top model eventually.
I tried it on a couple of projects and was (pleasantly?) surprised how good it was. I have no doubt in my mind that spacex needs to be broken up before they grow too big because grok build is going to be the future coding model of choice

They're going to have quite a tall ladder to climb to become the "top model". Currently on LMArena they're nowhere near the top [0] in any of the important categories.

Musk's 'capital power' is spread thinly, as both xAI and SpaceX need ongoing enormous funding and have debts.
Google raised the same amount as SpaceX IPO at the same time, it just didn't get as much attention outside of financial and tech press

The other big players (MS/Goog/Meta) have solid businesses already and both OpenAi and Anthropic are IPO'ing soon.
Musk over bought compute and is renting it out, many of the co-founders of XAI have quit, so doubt they will dominate any time soon.

The coding index is at 51 while the others are at 75

> grok build is going to be the future coding model of choice
This is a BIG statement, especially considering current benchmark scores, can you expand more, why do you think so?

What a weird thing to suggest. This model is worse than some Chinese models from last year, which were already worse than frontier models from last year.
This looks like a worse Deepseek V4 pro. Costs more, dumber, slower and more verbose than most modern Chinese releases.
Seeing how those Chinese releases are in various states of open source, I would hope a competitor could at least match them.

#9Ultimately I've never used Grok and don't want to support the company / CEO behind it, but even without that the 256k context window as given in this link means I won't look at it.
Model intelligence is great, but more often than not I found my issue is not that I would like 5/10% more intelligence, I'm already not even using the highest mode of thinking on most of my queries, and very important queries are better served by asking different model and ask another one to compare and help me decide.
My "big" issues are mostly centered about context loss and how they explode in flight when that happens sometimes without you or them noticing.
I don't know, depends on everyone's usage I guess, and 256k is not THAT shabby, but that's how I feel about it.

I cannot comment on the likelihood of xAI being competitive as an AI lab in the future.
However, their "overbuying" of compute means they can now rent it out for $2.32B/month.
That seems like solid business to me, and raises the question whether your claim of xAI needing 'ongoing enormous funding' is accurate.
