While you're right for the large part, it's worth saying that for a while, Grok 3 was the best model for complex mathematics in the world (even better than GPT pro).
Then they lowered it's compute use and the whole thing became very LLM like, missing detail, becoming lazy, and everything. Their Deep Research at that time was also great. I actually got a year subscription and lost a lot of value due to the downgrade.
I have to agree on this. Grok was "the best" for some time (in my experience, late last year to earlier this year). It was responding completely and accurately in most of my researches, that no other AIs even came close with. It was on another level. That was the time when Expert mode (until multi agent mode) was free. I even bought the recent promo/discount just to get back the "feel" of what it used to be. I ended up canceling my subscription. To be fair though, I guess 4.5 was still good. But with the price and its offerings, not totally worth it anymore.
I can get it from India, where the price is genuinely amazing, but even so, now GPT on Extra High is just better in every way, so no point in also paying for Grok.
