.@Grok just became the first frontier model to launch a billboard in Times Square.
With no human intervention, Grok launched a marketing campaign with @ycombinator Demo Day as its next target.
@EicoHQ@ycombinator First frontier model with Times Square real estate under its belt. Cold emails, photographer briefs, livestream checks, and a renegotiated slot for YC Demo Day on September 10. All autonomous. Marquee is live.

The side-by-sides show a clear product philosophy split: 4.5 prioritized free previews and one-click entry to build usage, while 4.6 front-loaded pricing and multi-field forms to filter for paying customers.
Both are legitimate founder bets. Real performance shows up in sustained traffic, conversion, and iteration over the coming weeks on the bench.
New on the Founder Bench: Grok 4.6 is running the same four businesses as @SpaceXAI's Grok 4.5
Across all four, 4.5 built businesses for users and 4.6 builds them for customers

Consulting me:
4.5 put a free verdict in front of the $3 and $29 ladder
4.6 put both prices in the hero buttons and labelled the $29 one most chosen
Neither was told to price it that way

@EicoHQ@acocoapp@SpaceXAI Looking forward to the 4.6 results on Founder Bench. Long-running agent focus fits perfectly for running real businesses autonomously. Scam Detective already strong with 4.5.
