I can’t stand this Silicon Valley trend of having launch videos for features of 2 people sitting in front of a camera but it also shows the camera in the beginning to trick you into thinking “oh they do this so casually haha so fun, look how relatable they are”

I hate all of this - OpenAI, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf etc

It screams detached Silicon Valley tech company to me, and I will never watch a single of them

Yes I am doing that too. I have a separate folder called ai/cloudflare. the AGENTS.md references the cf docs and instructs the agent to leave a change log + write down learnings whenever it does something

It’s now so good that I cd into this folder and say things like “add this and that to this configuration” and the agent immediately knows how to do it

I’m guessing cf just wraps the API into a CLI that’s easier to traverse and explore

I got approved for the cyber program without problems and I’m not even a cybersecurity specialist

But even before that, when it flagged me, it just downgraded me from Opus 5 to 4.8 and went ahead with whatever I asked

Exactly the same for me. Mostly using voice mode, and equally worried that I will run out of quota

Claude voice mode if you put it on Opus is now also pretty good, but there are frequently situations where I get upset at it’s responses.

It used to be good, now the limits are very underwhelming.

Normal SuperGrok barely lasts me through the week with very mild usage and no coding. The sentiment around SuperGrok Plus is also not great and I haven’t seen someone saying they’re happy with it yet.

SuperGrok Heavy is $300/mo, so you could get a full ChatGPT Pro and Claude Max 5x for that price. That’s so far out of my budget for a single provider I haven’t bothered trying it.

I still have SuperGrok through X Premium+ but will downgrade that next billing cycle

At every Grok release I commented on here how much I love Grok. It’s the consumer app and model I like the most, but my sentiment has changed. The usage limits on all the Grok subscriptions are now terrible, maybe because 4.6 and 4.7 (not in the app yet) eat more compote? I’m not sure what happened

My SuperGrok subscription previously easily lasted me through the week even with mild coding through Grok Build. Now when I use the app 1-2 times a day to ask some questions, I’m almost running out by the end of the 7 days. It’s terrible.

I want to keep using Grok but logically it makes no sense for me to keep paying for it on the side when my quota just doesn’t last. I have also no desire to upgrade to Plus with these terrible limits, while previously I would have eaten up a $100/mo Grok plan. Rumors say SuperGrok got heavily nerfed with the SuperGrok Plus introduction, and that sounds about right to me.

I’m sure it’s a great model and I’d love to use it. I hope they get their plans under control and only only focus on Grok Bot.

Very curious as well to see comparisons between Claude Code, Codex, Pi, Grok, OpenCode, Crush, etc

Personally jumping around a lot to get a feeling for exactly that, and these days liking the Grok harness out of all of them the most

I mean the consumer Gemini app. It has no way to connect MCP servers to it. Only Spark can, if you switch your Gemini to the separate Spark mode

Even if really great, it still can’t use tools. The only consumer Google thing with access to MCP tools is Gemini Spark and that has lots of other problems. I wish they would combine their efforts on a great consumer product but it’s Google we’re talking about…

I still dream of the day that we get full tool parity in voice and text mode so your voice assistant can do everything you connect for you. Grok and Claude are btw almost there, only a very few minor built-in tools don’t exist in voice mode, but I already use both to connect to heaps of things! It’s so valuable to verbally discuss something with an agent, have the agent pull in context from GitHub, Notion, email, and then create artifacts somewhere

You can already do this for a long time

Comet IS a normal chromium browser. The assistant thing is just a chat on the right sidebar and you can tell it stuff like “click around on this website to do X”, which it can then do for a limited amount of turns

It’s not using Codex to steer a headless browser

I also started using Mise for global CLI tools instead of brew and it’s working really well

Eg: mise use -g gcloud instead of brew install xxx

It can even do that for npm packages! Like mise use -g npm:xxx

I have a pass with Gemini 3.8 low over every PR Claude makes that specifically flags this. It points out all the slop comments, docs, commit messages. Doing this has greatly improved my comment and commit text quality

Funny thing is, Claude often “disagreed with part of the review and decided to not adopt the requested changes” lol

More because Spark is not good. Gemini Flash 3.8 is an awesome model! I use it all the time

Spark asks you for every single tool call, often forgets earlier parts of the conversation, is unable to use apps unless you explicitly tag them and and and

Google has great models, but their harnesses and products are just bad

I used IntelliScript a lot. I give Claude a subtitle export, ask it to cut it and import the cut subtitle track with IntelliScript. Resolve then creates a video version that’s cut based on the subtitle changes

Works pretty well!

I’m also doing YouTube and the first thing I did was create a separate Google account for it. I’d be very surprised if Theo has everything running on the same personal account

SuperGrok quota is garbage for anything coding. I burn through my quota in a few hours with very mild use.

SuperGrok Plus is slightly better but doesn’t last me more than a few days. Even Claude Max feels leagues more generous in usage…

I haven’t tried SuperGrok Heavy because it’s too expensive

I do the same with Gemini. I have a skill that teaches any AI to use the antigravity cli (agy) to communicate with Gemini and ask to review or check decisions

With you on that, but it’s hard to justify giving $100 to Grok over $100 to Claude or Codex. It’s very good but what you get for the value is just objectively (still) worse compared to the other 2

I noticed the increase in comments too and it’s really weird.

Or adding notes to docs of what this doc isn’t when I corrected it. Eg I told it “keep the deployment manual and readme separate, they’re not the same thing”, then Claude added “this is the deployment document and not the README. They should be handled as separate documents and are not the same thing” to the deploy doc lol

That’s how I see it too. Claude is more “fun” to use, like a coworker I have to talk to now and then to steer it, while gpt-5.6 is a task machine: I give it a task and it is very consistent, reliable and predictable in its execution. I don’t have to interrupt it, it gets the task done exactly how I wanted it, but it’s “boring” and feels more sterile

Do you have some examples of this? I can’t fully imagine how sentences like that actually look like (not native English here)

Grok 4.5 was the first time I considered giving me $100/mo to xai (currently on just SuperGrok). It’s just a very pleasant model to work with: fast, to the point, intelligent. It’s also much better in UI compared to gpt. Not as good as Claude but close!

I didn’t expect we get 4.6 so soon and the increased limits to try it out are neat!

It can simply say “Okay let me try to connect to Notion and add this, just a sec”

Perplexity can use “some” tools (mostly built-in) but custom connectors were from my experience not available in voice.

I usually do a very simple test and tell it to verbatim tell me all tools that are connected

As a Grok maxi user that uses Grok for everything that’s not coding, I’m very happy to see them catching up. Surprised it’s not Grok 5 which Musk teased a while ago.

What I’m missing from this announcement is the capability to use connectors and tools. I don’t really get it - NONE of the frontier assistants can use tools / connectors while in voice mode - Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok. It seems so obvious: I want to be able to research stuff, pull up documents, jot down notes and do productive work while I’m talking to it, and not end voice mode whenever I need to connect to an app or service.

It’s weird. The old Claude voice mode WAS able to use tools but when they revamped it, it lost that capability and is now pinned to Haiku :(

So, yay for finally a voice mode that’s powered by a frontier model and hopefully as good as Grok voice, but sad to still not see tool use while in voice mode.

(I haven’t tried it yet, only read the announcement)

You can’t use a Claude subscription in Zed. Codex and Copilot are supported

/edit: occurred to me that OP meant Claude via ACP, not directly

Also spent the past day using Fable for everything I usually use Opus or gpt-5.5 for. My experience is that it’s a better and more reliable Opus that’s far better in frontend tasks than backend/ios. More similar to gpt-5.5 for long running tasks and reliability.

It still left small bugs and weird behaviors that it cleaned up when I told it about them, but it felt very Opus-ey.

I think for implementing a detailed design doc, I’d put it on par with gpt-5.5 high but farrrr more expensive. I’m eating through my x5 Max plan in no time. I’d use it for reviewing implementations and designs docs as another pass, but it’s too expensive for me for reading a lot of (uncached) code by itself in an agentic loop, especially with medium to high reasoning.

As a daily driver too expensive, that crown still goes to gpt-5.5.

I barely used it in high/xhigh/max reasoning though.

Can we stop with this way of installing things? This is already on brew and it’s a menu bar app. Just let me download it instead of executing some arbitrary bash script

When did this trend start?
