MechaHitler was something that existed only on X's grok chatbot, due to a one-line system prompt change they reverted after half a day. That's different than using Grok as a model for coding.
Oh whoops. Already happened.
Why is Grok so much cheaper than Claude or GPT?
The answer is simple: They're willing to burn money faster than the others. Nobody's profitable in this space, they can price it however they want as long as investors keep pouring money in. And SpaceX just got a lot of money poured in.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's wild that redditors still believe this.
I would be curious to see the venn diagram with the people who think data centers are using all of the water.
SpaceXAI is the only frontier model company that had its own compute/date centres and soon chip making factory, I think they will pull ahead with cheaper tokens similar intelligence and better harness/tools. Grok build is 2-5x faster than Claude Code in my opinion.
But can you trust any number or metric coming out of SpaceX given everything? Also you mean their own compute like the illegal data centre turbines ? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/15/elon-musk...
Can someone explain to me what's the point of Grok anymore? I don't understand why we need a third or fourth closed frontier model. It is clear that chatGPT has locked down the consumer play, and may be Gemini is there. Claude has enterprise locked up, followed by chatGPT and Gemini. Enterprise switching costs are notoriously high, and even if they switch, they have chatGPT or Gemini to choose from. Beyond that, you…
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.
When I last used Cursor their subscription covered usage of ~$20 per month. Have they switched to a subsidized subscription model like ChatGPT and Claude?
Seems the cache read pricing almost doubled from $0.30 in Grok 4.5 to $0.50 in Grok 4.6. In my experience in heavy coding sessions most pricing is just cache read and cache write like 80% of my token bill.
Grok is not the best model around, but it's decent. It gets the basic job done at a low price. I don't think it can advance frontier Math, yet.
Probably can't advance frontier math yet, yeah. But please let us know other places you want to see Grok improve for future models!
I have never met a single human being who uses Grok for coding
