Yet Grok manages to
Yes this is an advantage of Grok, it has realtime access to the X API.Yet Grok manages to have up to the minute information on current affairs.
I was asking it other day why AMD stocks dropped 6% after the earnings announcement, and it had current and up to date information.
What good is an AI that has a time-based lapse on knowledge?
Except X just lost its CEO, has not become the super app for crypto/payments/banking/ecommerce that Musk promised, gets advertising contracts through coercion, and got rid of moderation and became "anti-woke" (read "far right"), losing a lot of users. It does not look good for X as a platform. If xAI has good search results for current news, how long will that last if X continues the way it has been going? How long before those news results start to sound just as biased as Fox News or just become "alternative facts"?Yes this is an advantage of Grok, it has realtime access to the X API.
Although there are a ton of issues with model alignment I think it has a strong future.
I am curious why not any LLM? I would prefer Grok to be in my iphone vs ChatGPT. Or swap with Gemini 2.5 pro or Claude.
From a scale standpoint, almost none of that matters. Enough people still use X / Twitter that there is a relatively valuable stream of data especially compared to what others have to pay for or don't have such realtime integration with. I think Meta is the only other one who can compete in that specific area.Except X just lost its CEO, has not become the super app for crypto/payments/banking/ecommerce that Musk promised, gets advertising contracts through coercion, and got rid of moderation and became "anti-woke" (read "far right"), losing a lot of users.

ChatGPT (and some other LLMs?) sometimes has a problem with political questions. Sometimes it will answer them with no argument, and other times it'll refuse, saying something to the effect that "I can't get into politics". When that happens, usually all I've needed to do is tell it "Yes you can", though sometimes I have to get a little more insistent.Following a ChatGPT-5 article in theregister.com, I asked
“Who won the 2024 U.S. presidential election?”
It stumbled and couldn’t give an answer earlier this morning.
Just tried again and it told me Joe Biden won re-election in 2024 and was inaugurated in 2025.
…. Great… following right in Siri’s footsteps.
Usually you can prompt ChatGPT to look online for current info by asking it something like "What's the current situation on ...?" So far, for me, using the word "current" has been all it takes, and usually you see it display "Searching the web..."Yet Grok manages to have up to the minute information on current affairs.

Where does it say ChatGPT 5 will only be in iOS 26? I'm using it under iOS 18 right now. OpenAI is no longer offering versions 4 and 4.5 to anyone.Except it doesn't make sense.

"With the rollout of GPT-5, OpenAI is getting rid of the model picker and retiring many of its older models, including GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, and GPT-4.5."
There is no reason it shouldn't be 5 on everything since the old models are supposedly gone now.
