Yup.

I have found out recently that Grok-4.1-fast has similar pricing (in cents) but 10x larger context window (2M tokens instead of ~128-200k of gpt-4-1-nano). And ~4% hallucination, lowest in blind tests in LLM arena.

You use stuff from xAi and Elmo?

I'm unwilling to look past Musk's politics, immorality, and manipulation on a global scale

Grok is the best general purpose LLM in my experience. Only Gemini is comparable. It would be silly to ignore it, and xAI is less evil than Google these days.

When's the last time Sundar Pichai did a Hitler salute or had his creation calling itself "Mecha Hitler"?

In the big picture, those events are insignificant compared to the negative impacts on society from Google's trillion dollar advertising business and the associated destruction of privacy.

fair points, but we'll have to see now that grok is in the pentagon. sky's the limit
