Having ethics be a guiding principle ≠ narrow minded
How did you get around the extremely short message prompt limit? I basic subscribed for a month not too long and it was awful in the fact that prompt limits were set very low and other features were locked away behind pay where I could get them included with ChatGPT, etc (photo generation and such)
I never hit the short prompt limit so I can’t answer that for you. Here’s a good comparison from an outside source.
I put ChatGPT vs Grok to the test with 7 prompts — here's the winner
Can Grok step up?
I don't use either. Altman and Musk are both dishonest clowns, but Musk has a bigger nose.
Call me narrow-minded if you wish...I've never had a X/Twitter account, never viewed X/Twitter, and I'm not starting today just to try out some lame AI from a company run by Harry Bōlz.

I’m reading all the responses on r/locallama by engineers and users and they are uniformly against using Grok and they want Musk to literally die on Mars today.
I have never had this issue. How does it manifest? You have Permium X? Or you're using the free tier?
Nope. Zero trust in Musk and will never put another dime in his pocket.
Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI on Tuesday announced Grok-3, and Musk is making some bold claims. The new AI model is said to have more than ten times the computing power of its predecessor and outperforms leading competitors, including OpenAI's GPT-4o and Google's Gemini.
The latest iteration of xAI's flagship model introduces new "reasoning" capabilities through two distinct modes: "Think," which displays the AI's reasoning process while resolving requests, and "Big Brain" for handling more computationally intensive tasks.
Alongside the model update, xAI announced Deep Search, which the company describes as a "next generation search engine." The new feature is designed to analyze information from the internet and X (Twitter) to provide comprehensive answers to user queries.
Grok-3 will be available to X Premium Plus subscribers, which now costs $40 per month, up from $22 – the second such price hike in as many months. The company is also launching a new subscription tier called SuperGrok, priced at $30 per month, offering "the most advanced capabilities and earliest access to new features."
Musk said that Grok-3 is designed to be a "maximally truth-seeking AI," even when such truth might conflict with political correctness. The model has faced previous criticism for spreading election misinformation and having fewer restrictions on text-to-image generation.
Grok-3's reasoning capabilities are available in the Grok app. In the future, xAI says it plans to add synthesized voice capabilities to the Grok chatbot and intends to make the previous version, Grok-2, open source in the coming months.

Despite what everyone thinks about Musk, I really think that iOS 19.x should allow the ability of Apple Intelligence to choose whatever AI engine you want to use, whether OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Meta AI, Alibaba's Qwen, Xai Grok, and so on.
I don't disagree
But can we choose native Photos and Cloud Storage back end options first?
I'd personally get more value out of that optionality
I've said that as well; it should just be an API that any AI can their app into if they wish. I keep AI disabled, so it's of no concern to me, but it makes sense for those who use it.
Today I learned that the xAI logo is supposed to say xAI and not x1. What a truly awful logo.
Too bad Apple will never allow that to happen! Apple Intelligence would be shown as the fraud that it is.
I'd love to see third-party options available for photo and data cloud storage under iOS and MacOS.
Apple has said that there are many AI functions beyond the scope of Apple Intelligence. But it needs to allow your choice of AI engine you want to use beyond Apple Intelligernce itself.
Hi, even though I have a premium subscription, I haven't changed to Grok 3, do you know why, isn't it released for everyone, is it related to the area I live in, I live in Israel, thanks in advance

It already does this with ChatGPT for "world knowledge" queries. And I'll note that the ChatGPT integration is listed in settings under "Extensions" and certainly looks like you'll eventually be able to add others.
No, it's Premium+, not Premium.
"Grok-3 will be available to X Premium Plus subscribers"
I have never, ever seen someone give Tim credit for just about anything. Are you imagining this?
Let's take that a step further. 7 years ago Elon was making claims that his cars would be robotaxis by 2020, we'd be on Mars by 2021, buying anything other than a Tesla was like buying a horse...etc. etc. It was around that time that his celebrity caught up with reality and people started asking why anyone believes any of this. From there, it's all downhill.

The same reason we give some credit to all visionaries. The same reason we credit Jobs or Bezos. Partly as shorthand but also recognition of the talent for bringing great teams together who accomplish great things.
As for any claims about Grok -3 I would wait for tests. Musk tends to oversell despite accomplishing amazing things.
You've missed it perhaps, as it does get obscured
Tim is a supply chain and optimization wizard!
I'm tapped out on him leading things due to what I personally perceive as some stagnation and misses in "product", but he's been an undeniably good steward of the company, especially from a financial angle.
