Just did a round table review with the Grok @Bot engineering team.
Fixes are being implemented overnight and you should notice a dramatic improvement by tomorrow. If not, reply to this post and we will address any remaining issues right away.
@mattyp@bot Letting us choose the model (e.g. composer) and whether to use fast would be a huge win. My bot did some tasks with cursor agents and they defaulted to grok 4.7 FAST and drained all my usage.
@Nicolas_Colin All you're saying is Europe is not investable so the "savings" get invested in the US.
Also 1/5th of take home pay of β¬2000 is not much savings to matter
Here's my honest take after on the Super unified plan. I know usage has been an issue for a lot of people using Grok Bot.
Regular chat barely uses anything. It feels much better than the early days, and I no longer worry about back-and-forth conversations with my bots.
What really eats the pool is coding with Cursor. That burns through usage fast.
Surprisingly, simple videos and images are very light. Grok Imagine videos take more, but still nowhere near coding.
What uses the most for you?
Grok Bot tip if you code - Cursor defaults to Grok 4.7 FAST which burns twice the usage.
Add to that the high thinking and your usage suffers.
Asking your botnto manually set the model and removing fast is a game changer
@nvandewetering A realization for me was they like building their own tools and do it badly. Meanwhile GitHub is full of plug and play solutions that just work. Use ready made don't recreate
Just made a Grok Bot Assistant app replacing my Google Assistant on Android. ππ»
Holding power key opens up a similar panel to Gemini.
What a time to be building!
@dieworkwear See Derek's post

no need to check thread, Derek will attack said person
works 100% of the time
