In terms of general purpose usage and image understanding, I think Grok 2 is pretty good and roughly on par with ChatGPT 4o. Grok 2 will also look for online sources similar to ChatGPT search which is nice. I've occasionally had it report irrelevant results when doing so though --- for example when I was looking up the price of a car it once found some random webpage with the price in rupees even though I'm in the US.

For logical reasoning of course chain-of-thought models like the O1 family are better.
