Cursor, since Grok 4.5, has had an incredible deal for frontier level models, their subscription now goes way further than OpenAI or Anthropic. Even on their lower tier plans you can use a lot tokens on their of their first party models (Grok and Composer) and not really run out comparatively. Combine them with an orchestrator and implementor type setup and it goes even further.

How does Grok 4.5 compare to Opus >= 4.8 though? I'm willing to pay 2x for a 10% smarter model. Intelligence matters that much (because 10% smarter probably saves, on average, several hours of human time).

It's a bit worse.

I haven't tried so it's pure speculation based on benchmarks, but I'd assume Grok 4.6 is around Opus 4.8 in real world use, but clearly below Opus 5.

I believe they are the only western provider that has Kimi K3 on a subscription plan today as well. I would love to ditch Anthropic and be on Kimi if there were a subsidized plan like that with ZDR

kimi k3 credits end in just a few sessions. Only Grok models allow generous use in Cursor Pro/+

GitHub Copilot does have Kimi K3.

I have never met a single human being who uses Grok for coding

I have. He was using it due to philosophical reasons the same way many people have philosophical reasons for avoiding it. I don't know how many people are like that, but it's not exactly where you want to position your product if you're a business. Personally - and I know I'm not alone with this sentiment based on comments I see on this site - I wouldn't touch Grok no matter how good or cheap it is. I don't trust Elo…

>who turns around and uses the money to interfere with elections

thats a very dumb reason considering all rich people do it, most are just not as open about it as Musk

I refuse to use that product because of the parent company.

When you make politics a big part of your identity, you can’t help but to inject it everywhere. It’s glaringly weird and annoying for those of us who are apathetic and just want to talk about tech, but that’s how it has been for a few years.

A bunch of SWEs at my work use it as their primary model. We have Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor with essentially no cap on spend (top guy is spending over 10K a month on AI at API prices), and he hasn't had his hand slapped. So it's not like they are using it purely because it's cheaper. I think people like to use it for its speaking style, pretty solid performance, and its speed.

That's pretty surprising. Idk about Grok 4.6, but Grok 4.5 was clearly below Fable, Opus 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol.

once my codex/claude weekly limit was gone, i gave it a try. It was surprisingly good, not dumb in any way, and fast. I now require it as a part of 3-of-3 quorum with any codebase change.

It's not virtue signaling. People are allowed to have morals. And they are allowed to act in ways that align with those moral beliefs. > do you use Apple equipment despite Apple’s use of Chinese slave labor? If someone said they didn't buy Apple because of this, I'd support them in that too. People. Are. Complicated. We're allowed to have beliefs, we're allowed to have beliefs that aren't internally consistent. You g…

The issue is that this is supposed to be a tech discussion forum and many of us don’t want to be repeatedly beaten over the head with other people’s politics. Plenty of other places to be political, we just wish this wasn’t one of them.
