Grok is a laughing stock in LLM world.

• It’s worse than Gemini, Claude, so… why use it over API?

• It’s not open source or even open weights. Elon is straight up lying when he claims it is.

• It’s more expensive and generally more censored than great open weights models. Its even straight up worse than the remarkable Deepseek v3.

• Elon has one of the most inefficiently used H100 hoards on the planet, while other labs are making good models without being billionaires or scorching the Earth.

• Elon is an asshole, and I don’t want anything to do with him.

• Even for “business use,” simply associating with X makes you radioactive.

The only ostensible reason I can think of to use Grok is ignorance, or to lick the boots of Musk/Trump.
