    Grok is a laughing stock in LLM world.

    • It’s worse than Gemini, Claude, so… why use it over API?

    • It’s not open source or even open weights. Elon is straight up lying when he claims it is.

    • It’s more expensive and generally more censored than great open weights models. Its even straight up worse than the remarkable Deepseek v3.

    • Elon has one of the most inefficiently used H100 hoards on the planet, while other labs are making good models without being billionaires or scorching the Earth.

    • Elon is an asshole, and I don’t want anything to do with him.

    • Even for “business use,” simply associating with X makes you radioactive.

    The only ostensible reason I can think of to use Grok is ignorance, or to lick the boots of Musk/Trump. It’s not good, it’s not ‘based’ it’s just a shitty product hyped to the moon. Surprise surprise…
