Grok 4.7

after using cursor grok & trae.ai for several months , grok curor is highly superior results to trae.ai

I guess it’s only my opinion but having used grok for personal chat: it’s by far the worst one amongst Claude, ChatGPT and even Deepseek, Gemini etc.

The personality is bland and it doesn’t work nearly as hard or even tries to help.

14m agoHN ↗

I used openrouter to send same prompt to qwen, derpseek, gemini and grok and found that grok does good research and produces less bullshit, especially when prompted to be critical of an idea

14m agoHN ↗

This has been my experience as well. Grok will end tasks almost immediately and claim "Done!". It's definitely the laziest and most "dishonest" of all the models. The others aren't perfect, but I can't use Grok for any serious coding task.

The personality is bland

I don't use Grok, but do you want your LLM to have a personality? "Personality" is exactly what people don't like about Claude.

Apparently Grok 4.7 has 40% more weights than Grok 4.6, but the price ($6 output token, $2 input) is the same.

Given that the decrease in their margin and the fact they delayed the release of Grok 4.7 almost two weeks past the original date, XAI must not have been happy with the results for 4.7. And XAI also waited the day before Opus 5.5 is rumored to launch. I imagine Opus 5.5 will blow Grok 4.7 out of the water benchmark wise.

However, I have become skeptical of benchmarks. Grok 4.5 solved some issues setting up a buildroot system that Fable 5 couldn't do. I find the post cursor groks are phenomenal at frontend web development, though Claude is much better at backend ruby.

My favorite part of the new Groks has been how they speak in plain english. I simply cannot stand Claudish. Or even GPT, which doesn't have Claude's ticks but definitely likes to handwave explaining technical concepts. Still, nothing beats Claude 3.5 and 4 with explaining since it seems all models have regressed. I wonder if Grok 4.7 will also regress with English because of all the RL.

For what it's worth - over the last few years or whatever, it seems like Anthropic benchmaxxes the least.

That being said, I currently prefer Sol / Astra to Opus / Fable as I find both to be a better cost payoff to me.

Token price doesn't tell you much without knowing token efficiency.

What's with the deceptive graph on top? Not including Astra can't have been an oversight, did the model compare poorly to it?

16m agoHN ↗

I wonder if that means that SpaceX evals show that they consider astra better than fable or that they hate Sam&co so much they don't want to show their stuff.

12m agoHN ↗

They have Astra in other benchmarks lower on the page. They just don't want to show it winning

10m agoHN ↗

The chart is cursorbench though and they asked about the "deceptive graph"

5m agoHN ↗

Deceptive? An extremely quick google search would answer your question. OpenAI pulled out of Cursor before they released Astra so it never got that benchmark.

How anyone that values democracy in the United States could support any of Elon's ventures is difficult to understand.

6m agoHN ↗

Judging by Elon's staggering success in all of his ventures I'd say you're out of touch.

The public very much voted for massive administrative reform. Are you refering to DOGE, Elon Musk's influence on elections, something else?
