Compared to what? All the comments seem to agree, but I curious if people here have actually used Grok.

I rotate between major models frequently. Grok has been up there in accuracy and research for some time, trading places with Gemini IMO. Latest 4.3 release has been solid.

Composer is pretty good and now they own Cursor. Don’t count them out yet.

So.. it’s bad, compared to what? Claude from 2 months ago?

you got your answer already. Nobody actually uses Grok.

i jump about a lot, for coding gemini and grok are definitely not as strong as gpt 5.5/opus/sonnet/composer.

composer 2.5 is actually very good and use it for a good chunk of tasks.

Gemini has been atrocious, in my experience. Not sure if it's the harness or the model, but it hallucinates much, much more than GPT (via ChatGPT) or Claude, and weirdly assumes it can just answer complex, knowledge-heavy domain questions without doing a web search.
