I think there's a surprising number of actually useful applications in this sort of grey area for a slightly-less guardrailed, near-frontier model (also the grok-fast models are cheap!).
every single model refused to attempt to run any sort of test to check if it was a n issue other than grok.
it won't for example create a POC python script that you normally would use to prove the issue.
Grok also does quite well at code reviews in my experience because it’s not so aggressively ”aligned”.
The OCR was complex enough (bad quality photos) that "simple" OCR models couldn't do it.
Fortunately, Claude obliged (as well as Mistral OCR was helpful!)
Like what?
Something as easy where normal people can login to a website and app and just use?
It is the dropbox comment all over again.
"Well you can just self-host to get uncencored same as Grok without NAZI!! Elon Musk!!"
Just like you can spin up an FTP to get your own Dropbox.
Well... very few people are going to actually do that.
