There have only been a few alts I’ve been stacking over the past few months in the downturn. $VVV, $DIEM, $CVX, $ASF, $HYPE, and more recently $AERO - I just feel these are yield machines that are oversold and I believe with increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenized RWAs, ETFs, AI agents, etc. that the moats these protocols have compared to their current valuations and yield potential are massive.
It was a fun parlor trick while it lasted but I no longer use @bot to order me food. Takes 10-15 minutes and costs me 25 cents or more of compute when I can do it myself in 2 minutes for free.
@diogomonica It took nearly 20 minutes and a few percent of my weekly @bot ultra allotment just to compare prices between DoorDash and the food website I was ordering from. 😔
I run 5 bots on grok ultra and I have them actually delegate most coding to my Claude instance. They have a routine that they stop working when they use 12% of the weekly grok/claude utilization in a given day. They got there in a few hours today on relatively basic tasks. In your example though, that sounds insane. There probably is some context pruning that can be done. Context contents and token utilization is a lot easier to manage in Claude code I feel.
@mtgproductionss Im close to a week in on the duo. I enjoy having a new smart phone experience, and the split screen feature has some real productivity uses, but the extra weight and some of the clunky ergonomics does make me miss the iPhone at times
@auchenberg Depends what type of user you are. Duo isn't for everyone for sure. The weight and some of the ergonomics to it are a bit awkward. But if you feel you could really value the extra screen size and the multitasking, it is quite nice.
Been using it all day everyday this week. Already upgraded to super then ultra. The mail connectors are flawless. Some of the web browsing is hit or miss with sites sometimes not loading, even when you try and route it locally. There were a few times it said one of my Macs was offline when it wasn’t (grok’s diagnostics couldn’t say why but admitted they were false positives). The orchestration and coding capability is excellent as well.
@condzxyz Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.1 better than Grokbot for coding tasks, but Grokbot's built-in computer and browser is extraordinarily powerful and their speed, efficiency, and orchestration capabilities are incredible. Right now I'm $200/mo grok, $100/mo claude, $0/mo gemini & chatgpt.
@nvandewetering I have both duet and grok bot and I leverage Claude code extensively. I practically interface entirely through grok bot and even have him orchestrate my Claude code tasks (though there are minor limitations)
@mikebelshe I block everyone on LinkedIn who tries to send me a PDF or any attachment there (happens a lot). Either they're trying to hack/scam me or they're too stupid to know basic OpSec working in this industry, in which case they're not worth collaborating with.
I've been Claude max user for the last year, tinkered with @bot and Claude Duet. Being that I'll only ever drive a Tesla, I rely on X heavily, and @bot works so much better... I'm starting to think about full porting my whole AI stock to Grok, but Opus 5.5 and Fable still feel leaps ahead of Grok for coding. That's the final piece missing for me. I know I can call those models from Cursor via API but that's a much more expensive route than what's included in the max sub. Hopefully soon! Maybe Grok 5?!
