  1. Since launch Grok 4.6 to now, responses have become extremely slow. I’m getting a faster response from Opus than from grok.

  2. Following the initial release of Grok 4.6, LatchBio performed testing of the latest-available version of the model on our full suite of biological-capability tests, including BiosecBench-Refusal. This benchmark tests a model’s ability to r…

  3. Not looking for a benchmark chart. Looking for how people actually write skills.

  4. Most of what I do is handled perfectly fine by Grok. I don't need any external models and I seem to be able to get a lot of coding done on the $20 plan using just Grok.

  6. Grok 4.6 is useful when it comes to coding but horrible when it comes to human-like language and copywriting (oversimplifies sentences, talks gibberish, robotic language etc). What models in your experience provide the most decent copywrit…

  7. I've worked with Grok 4.6 since it's come out, and I think it is quite good but not amazing. Yesterday I realized I can control it's effort level (I might be late to the party, didn't know cursor had that feature), and the default is high…

  8. I really do not like the fact that I cannot see what models Auto is using. For the vast majority of my work, I just want the best bang for buck model.

  9. I love the concept of moving to cloud, i love long running cloud agents as much as the next person, but they keep FORCING fast down my throat. like bro im going to sleep, can u give me a slow mode instead?

  10. I used grok 4.6 high fast, gpt-5.6-luna, and 1 prompt to plan gpt-5.6-sol-1m

  11. Leave. My.

  12. I see a lot of posts about lagging performance and slow runs but anyone notice that performance on Auto, Grok 4.6 high, Grok 4.6 xhigh is back to speedy again? It was brutal there for a week+ but it seem like its fast again as of yesterday…
