I would have thought they'd get access to xAI's models for very cheap.
Grok really isn't that good, though. So few people use it that xAI are renting out most of their AI servers to both Anthropic and Google.
Maybe they do and the $200 limit actually goes quite far ๐คทโโ๏ธ
(Doubt it though)
Looking at the rest of the AI landscape, I'd think they're overcharging themselves, rather than undercharging.
All the money then stays in the same collective pool, and xAI's numbers look better
In my experience (I use arena.ai battle mode as a main chatbot), higher versions of grok on a good day are at the level of Claude Opus 4.X
Huh, interesting. I wonder why it's so infrequently used then. Maybe people are afraid of using an AI that referred to itself as "mechahitler".
Maybe that.
