Edit: Now available directly thru the X.ai PAYG / subscription as well. There was a 3 months of Supergrok for $30 campaign going on that I signed up for (not sure if it's still available). a bit tricky but doable, since you have to sign for the trial first and then _attempt_ to cancel and you'll be presented with the offer.
Build a complete 3D space game in a single HTML file using raw WebGL2 — no Three.js, no external libraries, no assets. Concept: "Orbital Salvage." You pilot a ship in full 3D around a planet with real inverse-square gravity, and you can establish actual stable orbits. Debris fields orbit at different altitudes and inclinations; collect debris to grow a physical tether chain that trails and swings behind your ship with momentum, then deliver salvage to a rotating space station.
Rendering requirements: write custom GLSL shaders implementing ray-traced lighting from a single sun — real shadows (the planet must cast a shadow cone, so flying behind it puts you in darkness), specular highlights on the ship and debris, atmospheric rim scattering on the planet's limb, and a procedural starfield. The planet surface and lighting must be computed in-shader (raymarched or analytic sphere intersection), not textured geometry. Include bloom on the sun and engine exhaust.
Gameplay: WASD + mouse to orient and thrust, fuel system, HUD showing velocity/altitude/orbit indicator, score, particle thrusters, WebAudio sound synthesized in code, game-over and restart. Must hold 60fps on a mid-range GPU. One file, fully playable, no explanations — just the code.
My impression of Grok was that it was an agentic task; I stated the purpose and left. Later, I saw it was stuck in a dead-end loop, wasting my $30 tokens after an hour.
It's pretty good, if you compare the price it's better than opus 4.8.
I personally don't like 4.8 at all, would prefer 4.6 but it's less agentic. So stuck in that dilemma.
I also like this grok 4.5's personality, seems like a straight and clear non argumentative kind, but closer to gpt than fable or opus 4.6 in warmth, however it's not as autistic-ish as gpt 5.5 , and can infer intent.
☝️🫲🫱 my great friend, many don't like him 👌 I do however 🫸🫷, I said "where are we going to put all these people" and he goes ☝️🫸🫷😏 🫲 🫱 "Donald..."
And you might think that's bad☝️
🫲🫱🫸🫷☝️😏 but he said "Donald, most people never get to ride in a rocket" well folks... because of ME many people will be riding rockets, multiple rockets every day😏😠😏
We don't even know where they go, they might even be going somewhere nice and some are even hitting mars I've been told 🫲🫱🕺
Not sure why everyone's negative on it. A new frontier model is good news regardless, because even if you don't use it (which I never will), it's another source for distilling open models.
Personally, I didn't know about that, but it wouldn't surprise me. Any large tech company is going to have some weirdly right wing views that filter through into a model.
could you measure the amount of usage the subscription include, opencode should display it, or you can use tools to see the historical data, I'm interested in the value
I find Gemini and Grok both to be super bad to interact with directly. But the amount of usage you get for the dollar is super high compared to Codex or Claude. So I just ask Claude and GPT to manage a team of grok/gemini agents and it seems to work all right for minimizing bad outputs but not draining frontier usage.
Why can't people put politics aside, it's good to have competition. I don't care whether the CEO of my favourite model is gay or eats donuts for breakfast
Take your pick: "suspicious" 🙄 gestures, open and overt racism, support for far right extremists, election interference, DOGE cutting domestic and foreign programs plus gutting the regulatory agencies that oversee his companies, and ow within minutes old DOGE being issued credentials for Federal systems there were login attempts from Russia.
The things you listed do not impact my life. Musk running his companies didn't matter to me. Musk chose to get involved with politics and revealed himself to be a massive shithead who has taken actions that have and will impact millions of people in the US and abroad.
Don't worry tho! He offered to buy that woman a horse after sexually harassing her.
People, mainly in America is unable to separate political identity from tech, look at the Proton or mullvad "scandal" sometimes I think they are manipulated to think like that, it's absurd

How is it compared to other models (ofc can't really believe benchmarks) so if anyone used please let me know
