Interesting - seen some good experiencences in using grok by some devs, so maybe could be considered as an alternative to my beloved chinese models. Also, hard to give up on pi agent.
Grok Build seems faster to me than `omp` and Claude Code but I can't put my finger as to why. Anecdotally, after disabling code uploads the agent doesn't respond instantly anymore (it used to respond within milliseconds).
I’m biased to like it and I don’t. I find it’s way worse than opus 4.8, 5.6-sol:medium or glm 5.2. I’ve subscribed for supergrok anyway cause it’s a good deal but basically just use grok 4.5 for my explore agents / commit agents and some smol tasks. I don’t trust it beyond that. Grok build and grok-build-0.1 are both supremely underwhelming. Many factors, one they often don’t “grok” tool use too well, ironically. They also didn’t function well as orchestrators, often getting confused, repeating things and otherwise getting tripped up logically. I have hope though that these are just growing pains and it’ll get better
