<p>After being stuck with using GPT-5.6 models for the past few weeks, I have renewed faith in Google and everyone but OpenAI. The GPT-5.6 models are quite obviously benchmarkmaxxed to make they seem like they are intelligent but they are quite dumb outside anything that not a benchmarked task.<p>I also think Google is still the best at fitting the most overall intelligences into their models, but for some reason it seems like the model architecture is just bad.</p>

<p>I usually wake up place my watch on the charger grab the clothes I'm wearing go brush my teeth take a shower get dress and get ready for the day then grab the watch off the charger and it fully charged everytime.<p>I don't get the people that need to wear it 24/7 for days at a time.</p>

<p>If it charges fast enough this shouldn't matter. You just charge it while you take a shower and as long as it charges enough for the day it fine.</p>

<p>I was talking about why would I use a Grok specific version of this instead of one that I can switch models.<p>What if Grok models become horrible or they increase the pricing of the subscriptions now you have to migrate off. Instead you could just use the open source version that allows you to choose your providers and switch cost is just the time to switch those providers.</p>

<p>The problem these model providers have now is there software is basically useless.<p>Tell me one reason why I would use this at my company? I basically have to bet on Grok being the best models for this.<p>Or I can use an open source version and use whatever model I want.<p>You see this with coding agents, everyone used Claude Code and then realized holy shit this is expensive and now use open source agents and they can use open source models and cut costs.</p>

<p>Yeah, but the future will essentially be building extensions for agents. Agents will become the new web browser and extensions will be the new apps. We are already seeing the early stages of this.</p>

<p>Yeah, in fact you can actually make the model perform worst. You should allow the model to "think for itself" instead of pushing your reasoning into the prompt. You should give it simple prompt and steer it along the way.<p>Skills, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md should only ever be used if the model struggle at something or doesn't know how to use something. Vast majority of project should never need a skill or CLAUDE.md. If you writing React apps you don't need these.<p>Give a LLM a bash tool and a prompt and it will outperform your complex setup with skills and tools.</p>

<p>I think people just think it getting worst because you use software for literally everything in your life now compare to before and this means you will most likely run into bugs more often.<p>On top of that software has to be build with more users in mind so you are often going to get bloated software. That why enterprise software is often horrible because they have to support multiple industries that all need different types of workflows and UI.<p>I have been using software for decades and there has always been horrible software. Like I'm mind blown that people think human always wrote good code, and that AI is somehow worst than human code. AI writes better code then the vast majority of programmers that's a fact. Yes, including you. Yes there are certain areas of programming that it sucks at but 99% of programmer aren't writing that code.</p>

<p>It shouldn't be surprising OpenAI does have the most compute out of all the major labs. The only reason why Anthropic models are expensive is they are the most in demand models in the world and Anthropic is fighting for compute. The only way to you limit demand for your model is increasing API pricing this is also why Anthropic probably has great margin and probably is profitable compared to OpenAI.</p>
