@jackfriks have you tried grok 4.6? for me speed is the best experience and the quality difference between other models seems really marginal... but th eother take forever.

@lennysan @WisprFlow

[jake @jakebarlo]

@lennysan I know, and I hate it... being honest. The only one I care about is granola. For some reason, the wisper notetaker doesn't work.

[jake @jakebarlo]

@julianweisser amazing!

[jake @jakebarlo]

@convex I just updated to the latest version. The only issue I found is that I needed to patch Convex helpers because I think it's not compatible with the new Convex version. Just flagging it here, just in case.
