I'm only counting 3 frontier models in the U.S.…

Oh, Claude tells me Llama and Grok might count.

View on HN

Grok 4.5 is better and cheaper than any Gemini models.

Grok is my starting point for random stuff at the moment. It's really pretty good.

Grok is a terrific model and my work horse. I hope Composer 3 reaches at least this level because Grok 4.5 intelligence + composer type speed pfffff, wild times ahead.

I think Grok is replacing composer now yeah? Fast mode is similar speed to composer.

Cursor has confirmed that Grok will be their flagship model, and Composer 3 their workhorse.

The intention being that Grok 5 or whatever is the orchestrator and will summon sub agents using Composer 3 for work.

Pretty sensible strategy. Composer just needs to do agentic coding in their own harness really well.

You get downvoted for praising Grok because its elon company

How is saying that a model “causes terror” praise?

That rests upon the intended use of the model, for some "causes terror" is high praise indeed and enough to make it a first weapon of choice.

You fall for social media again, the model didn't cause terror if user prompt to do it in first place

or are you going to blame the knife if people use it to stab ??

You’re right though. It is terrific. (Btw you might want to look up what that word means.)

"that word" has multiple meanings. In context to a native English speaker, the intended meaning is clear.

  OED: A (adjective)
    1.   ...
    2.a. ...
    2.b. As an enthusiastic term of commendation: superlatively good, ‘marvellous’, ‘great’.
