Comment on I let LLMs write an Elixir NIF in C; it mostly worked

It's interesting why the author used weaker models (like Grok 3 when 4 is available, and Gemini 2.5 Flash when Pro is), since the difference in coding quality between these models is significant, and results could be much better.

It's just that Grok 3 is faster than 4, so I've set it by default. But point taken, I'll try out the newer ones now that I'm converting it to Rust.

Holy moly, you weren't kidding. Grok 4 is so much better. Thanks!
