Have to give credit where it's due: Anthropic really turned the ship around with 5.5. Major improvements in prompt adherence over long running sessions.

Question is, will we see throttling over the next few days now that the "Anthropic is back" posts have proliferated?

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

@larsencc It's funny you mention harness reliability bc I just posted about how 4.7 has none. Regression in my eyes.

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

Didn't think I'd be saying this so soon but Grok 4.7 is such a disaster that I'm back to using Opus for coding and copywriting.

I don't understand why 4.7 is so poor at prompt adherence and self checks (e.g. using agent judges to grade work). It's also near impossible to layer tasks because the initial set of rules is continuously forgotten and has to be restated.

@IndependentEco @proteahq I'm going to give it another week to see if they start limiting compute again, new models are always impressive the first week

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

Grok 4.7 is really not the improvement I was hoping for. Having a difficult time keeping it consistent across basic front-end tasks for @proteahq

I'm hesitant to switch back to claude as there's a fair chance they'll throttle inference again next week.

Maybe back to GPT...

@kareeening Seems a far more authentic version of LinkedIn. On the waitlist ⏳ excited to explore

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

@eriktorenberg @cosign Always wondered which network would step up to LinkedIn. This is great! On the waitlist ⏳

Still amazed that it's now perfectly normal to move around town in a winged FSD vehicle without a steering wheel. The tranquility of the whole experience is just unmatched.

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

@ericwilliamrea Darren's writing style is perfect. How did you teach him to adopt that?

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

@bzagrodzki Always thought this too. I just want to be taken to my main repo page by default...

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

Was about to start a new session in Grok Build and noticed 4.7 is out. Seems to have further closed the gap to GPT and Claude. Putting it to the test right away.

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

Yep... their lineup is a mess, and fixing it doesn't seem to be a priority. Select tools are being halfway consolidated (e.g. moving some Grok bot features to Grok app but not all). Desktop app was supposed to be out months ago. Usage limits are inconsistent. I love the SpaceXAI ecosystem but this is a headache.

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

I think it's incredible that the greater tech community called this out weeks ago. Now it's mainstream, and confirms that open source poses as credible a threat to Sam and Dario's subscription enterprises as we thought.

OpenAI and Anthropic oversold AI security breaches to pressure feds into protecting turf: insiders https://t.co/IRsHJDt5D6

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

@Kalshi_Finance Shocker, but what's the actual source?

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

@Jason I love this. I'm already in Austin. How do I apply?

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

Stunning. Adding to the @proteahq website asap!

[Gustavo @heyimgustavo]

infinite faq

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

Looks like we're back up now!

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

Is @bot down for anyone else? I haven't been able to send messages since the update.

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

Huge addition! Not being able to talk to my Grok Bots while I'm on the go has been a considerable limitation... until now.

[Grok Bot @bot]

Grok Bot can talk now.

[Maximus @maximusgregori]

@OurSf49ers Will they ever figure out the root cause?
