Grok can take clothes off from any picture of a woman. Therefore, I will never use Grok. I don't know how anyone feels comfortable using this product.

I'm so sorry your family is suffering from this. I hope you can find a way to bring them back. Disorders featuring psychosis are so painful for everyone around them. Blessings to you and your family

I love how you guys downvote all the old comments to make them hidden from search. My no-name account rarely gets downvoted. But, within 20 minutes of posting this, I drop 10 points. Rando accounts

Don't worry about HN points. It's all just fake anyway. Numbers on the internet. GitHub stars on the other hand, now those are real.

I've also noticed that when I communicate with Grok in my native language, its tone is more natural than other models. I think this is due to the advantage of being trained on a large amount of Twitter data. However, as Twitter contains more and more AI-generated content now, I'm afraid continued training will make it less natural.

Sadly, it's more likely that people will just start talking like bots

So human language will improve and become more precise? I'm all for it, especially if we get more emojis in speech! Why is that sadly? Humans will learn to imitate their more intelligent betters.

So, we have: - claude for corps and gov - codex for devs - grok for what, roleplay, racism? Those are the two things I've ever heard grok associated with around me.

Grok was supposed to be the uncensored frontier model. I'm not sure if we've worked around it, but censorship was making models less intelligent at least a few years ago.

xAI have been caught making it agree with everything Elon says, which is a form of censorship, so we can no longer trust that it's truly uncensored: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/nov/21/elon-musk...

Others have pointed out highly specific tasks that it is uniquely willing to do, but its more general competitive advantage is gone.

People are going to hate on Grok because of Musk. However, I do hope they're successful in making a powerful model. We desperately need more competition. I want cheap subsidized AI plans. I hope Meta finally comes around, too. I want those sweet, sweet billionaire subsidized tokens.

Your $200 claude code subscription is a cheap subsidized plan. You're getting like 40k in tokens a year for $2400. A whole lotta people are about to be sad when they realize they bet their competency on that lasting forever.

Luckily inference is cheap, and other providers offer efficient models.

It’s only going to get better in the future.

If the only people openly caring about the future of Europe are the Hugo Boss fans, then all the people caring about said future will go to them.

If the far right are the only people with sane immigration and asylum policies, I have no choice but to vote for them, even if I disagree with everything else they preach.

doesnt knowing about openrouter skew by self selection.

Yes, but that market is not b2b, less commercialized, more end consumer focused and more bring your own key. That's why I find it interesting. Anthropic is not interested in building a moat there and OpenAI has given up on their announcement of exploring it. So you can see end users making decisions.

but those end users are a self selected specialized group that won't represent how jim bob in rural nowhere is going to work with Grok 4.3 to refine their racism.

I’m surprised no one is commenting on how cheap this is compared to Opus 4.x and GPT-5.5. $1.25 / $2.50 for every M input and output tokens. Is this is a smaller less powerful model? What am I missing?

They dropped the output cost, butthe input cost is relatively high. This is a recent trend. Seen with DeepSeek 4 Pro as well.

As an English-as-second-language speaker and writer, one thing Grok really shines at is capturing the tone and level of "formality" of a piece of text and the replicating it correctly. It seems to understand the little human subtleties of language in a way the other major providers don't. Chatgpt goes overly stiff and formal sounding, or ends up in a weird "aye guvnor" type informal language (Claude is sometimes bett…

I only use Grok through the "Gork" personality in the Tesla, but find its responses to be very realistic, often genuinely funny, and occasionally useful.

Do you use its unhinged mode? It can be hilarious but tiresome after a little while.
