All the other big name model providers have been pushing stuff out the door steadily; what’s happened to xAI? Their models were never the best but now they are getting wiped on the floor — for coding work, at least.
Is anyone here actively using a Grok model?
The SpaceX merger just happened, is that part of why they haven’t released anything in the last 5 months?

By oren1531 2026-03-1014:14 Grok's value was never really about model quality - it was the only model with real-time access to what's actually being said on X. And it's less filtered than the others, which matters for certain topics where ChatGPT/Claude will just refuse or hedge. Those are two genuinely unique things. But they're sitting on both advantages without shipping anything meaningful, and competitors will find workarounds eventually. The SpaceX merger adding organizational noise right now seems like the worst possible timing.
By uyzstvqs 2026-03-1014:10 Grok 4.20 is currently in beta and ranking #4 on arena.ai for text generation, only beaten by Claude Opus 4.6 and Gemini 3.1 Pro. Grok 4.1 Thinking is in #9, still a top model. Grok Imagine is consistently in the top 10 for image and video generation, ranking #1 for Image-to-Video.
If you meant code generation, Grok has never really been a top model for that purpose. Claude remains the undefeated king there.
