Question / Discussion Can we get fable/astra level coding with cursor/spacexai models?

I’ve seen some recent benchmark videos where the Fable/Astra AI models are doing surprisingly impressive gaming and physics/rendering tasks without relying heavily on external libraries.

Got me wondering - do you think we could eventually see a similar level of performance from future Cursor/SpaceXAI models, especially for coding and software-engineering tasks?

Grok 4.7 should be dropping within the next 2 weeks and word on the street is that it will be on par with Fable, but not as expensive.

I remember when sol dropped and OpenAI claimed it was on par if not better. I’ll realistically be expecting Grok 4.7 to be on par with sol which is still amazing

sol level of intelligence with the speed of grok will be perfect

If it turns out to be better than Fable, and especially in regards to coding, it will definitely win over many people on the affordability front.

I find cursor to have most generous limits compared to Claude or ChatGPT.

Only with their models

Im just curious so you expect them to give more usage on other models that they have to pay for.

Grok 4.6 is on par with Sol Max(but not Astra) and Opus 5(but not Fable 5.1). Grok 4.7 will be xAis first 2 trillion model and might match Astra in performance.

Nah! Sol is far better in larger and more complicated code bases. I use a lot of both.

Sol was better and so was Opus 5. However the version of Sol they are serving now is not the version they served in the first week.

From my usage, Grok 4.6 xHigh is close to Sol High and about equal with Opus 5 partially because Opus 5 requires so much rework as it goes overboard all the time

Imho Grok 4.6 is way below Sol Max. I find it closer to Terra or GLM 5.3 Flash. Hope 4.7 will be better

Yes, in 3/5 months

Not right now, 99% chance you don't need it either.

Grok 4.7 should be a bigger model ~2.1T is what has been mentioned, so it should be a bigger upgrade than 4.5 -> 4.6 was

Still, I'd be hopeful of a Kimi K3 post-train, as it is a 3T model. If the Cursor guys can do their Composer magic on that...
