> the quality of that model

I guess the benchmarks disagree, but whenever I need to find specific information that does not easily show up with a web search, I try chatgpt, gemini and grok. Grok surfaces what I was looking for more often than the others.

Things like "find the github repo from 2017 that does $vague_thing".

Grok does seem to have the best searching capabilities, and not just for twitter. I wonder what search engine they’re using on the backend.
Good question. You can actually see the searches it runs (momentarily) so testing could determine if it's using public search engines or a private system.
I find that too. I use Claude for coding but when I need to dig out something based on limited data I turn to Grok and it delivers.
Can you give a specific example (that doesn't violate any privacy you want to protect)?
Isnt that more Perplexitys thing anyways?
