I’m extremely sceptical anyways - Grok 4.5 was probably the worst model I ever seriously tried to use going back 3 years.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I use both Grok 4.5 and Opus 5. They’re both very good and Grok is faster and cheaper.
Opus 5 is terrible. I'd even say it's a step backwards from 4.8. I'm getting high error rates from it, and then it catches the error, and then it sometimes errors the error fix (!). Just today I had to switch another agent to Fable with the instruction, "Please clean up the mess that Opus 5 made, thanks" The other day, Sol called Opus 5's handoff (a skill I have that is basically a compaction, but just written to a f…

I don't understand why they don't look for large substring matches for the system prompt before returning the response. Trivial calculation compared to a system prompt instruction asking the model not to do it
Because it's trivial to bypass through things like the model natively knowing how to speak in encodings like base64

And here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok_sexual_deepfake_scandal I think polarizing is a generous way of describing the problems. My organization has outright banned Grok, because we don't trust SpaceX to hold up to contractual agreements vis-a-vis data-privacy/training. That's the level of reputational damage we're talking about here…
Can someone help me understand the deep fake controversy? That's like making photoshop illegal.

Wait... Really!?
Tangental, but has anyone else noticed grok's voice mode got stupid and terse ~2 weeks ago? I've absolutely loved grok's voice mode since it came out (incredibly useful for brainstorming on walks and helping conceptualise and get the verbiage for expressing ideas) but it seems so have lost about 40 IQ points recently, and if the question is multi-part, it often answers just one part with no elaboration or explanation…

The US govt trusts SpaceXAI for defense and high security missions. The idea they are lying about contracted AI services is absurd. They're also a public company which beings even more oversight than openai / anthropic.
