My Grok @bot has been stuck at 43% since Sept 28. The replacement is inaccessible too. Support says my recovery data is intact, but I still can't access it. A reminder: with Grok Bot, you're not in control of your own data. You're at the mercy of support @cursor_ai

The only real option in the "personal agent" space right now is Grok Bot. Been doing a lot with Dots. I do not like them.

Dots are a total mess right now.

1) Having a single thread for everything sucks. They got it right first try with Grok Bot, I have zero clue why they wanted it to just be one thread (I do know why, it's because I'm not the target market for Dots but still I hate it)

2) It's slow. Very, very slow.

3) There's zero visibility into what it's actually doing. All u can see is the final short text message that Astra gives u (5-10 mins after asking something). Grok bot's pretty good about talking u through what it's doing and being pretty fast, Bot just isn't

4) The app(s) are a mess. The mobile app, the desktop app, they all have performance issues, weird ux things (like when ur not focusing the input box on desktop and type it doesn't auto focus), just an absurd number of paper cuts. It's weird b/c Cursor is just as bad about this kind of thing, but Grok Bot is absurdly polished

5) I have zero clue wtf this thing is doing. I woke up to a bunch of random codex threads doing god knows what in circles and I have zero trust for this thing if I'm gonna be honest.

6) Zero parallelization. No ability to run a bunch of stuff in parallel, take advantage of the thing Astra's unbelievable at (agent swarming), just one little thread with 5 subagents.

I get that I'm not who this is built for. This isn't built for professionals or technical people. It's meant for someone to just chat with an AI and have that AI learn about them and do little useful things.

The only one of these that you can do actual serious work on is Grok Bot right now. If you are employed or do anything useful, use Grok Bot. My read on the space right now is that Muse will dominate the bottom 90% b/c free IG distribution and it doesn't need to be good to do what 99% of people will use it for. Dot is in this bizarre middle ground rn where they want it to be something accessible to everyone, but also good for serious work. The "middle" in product is always fucking stupid and doomed. Grok Bot is the "serious" option, just use it.

I keep saying this but SpaceXAI is the best engineering lab right now and it's not close. Compare grok dot com, their mobile app, grok bot, and grok build to their OpenAI or Ant equivalent. It isn't close, but then they release Grok 4.7 and it's a useless, overpriced, dumpster fire.

I hope Dot improves, they've got the models to really make it happen. But at least for right now, it's a mess and not something I would recommend.

[kirill sh @shneural]

codex subscribers are getting a slowed-down version of the same models 😡

same prompts, measured tokens/sec:
— GPT-6.1 Sol in Codex: 22 t/s
— same model via API: 73 t/s (3.3x faster)
— even Codex Fast (46) is slower than the regular API

meanwhile Opus 5.5 in Claude Code: ~97 t/s, API ~113. basically the same

6.1 Sol on the sub is painfully slow. i'm tired of waiting on it

I used AI to explain the AI Doomer drama, with Lord of the Rings and kittens.

[pccallout @pccallout]

@cyph3rasi @zwb44 @bot is available in EU / UK. just @OpenAI is lazy nothing to do with EU / UK regulations

[pccallout @pccallout]

@RyanYahya @uzairansar @bot works in EU

[Mia @MiaAI_lab]

never a dull day on X 🤣

[pccallout @pccallout]

@giadotai marketing plan was done by Astra and weekly usage just finished before @thsottiaux reset :) Simple :)

[pccallout @pccallout]

@leerob @bot start with fixing 43% bug for current users

[pccallout @pccallout]

@thsottiaux Cool day sitting with my @bot but the remote computer broke :) Looking at you, @cursor_ai (the famous 43% bug). Time to say sorry to @NousResearch and go back to Hermes Agent :) no dot for a poor second class EU citizen

@Ananth7e @jturntdev only till 29/10/2026

[BridgeMind @bridgemindai]

I ran out of my entire weekly limit on the $500 ChatGPT Pro Max plan in under 30 minutes.

GPT 6 Astra Ultrafast.

0% left until October 6.

OpenAI just scammed everybody.

[BridgeMind @bridgemindai]

One GPT 6 Astra prompt using ultrafast on the new $500 ChatGPT Pro Max plan.

Ran for 2 minutes. Used 2% of my weekly limit.

That is 50 prompts, or about 100 minutes of work, before the week is gone. For $500 a month.

This is a complete scam.

[Priy @alwayspriyesh]

This has to be a generational OpenAI failure 😭

I really thought they were about to kill Grok Bot with Dots…

You genuinely cannot make this stuff up.

This DevDay is pure comedy at this point.

[pccallout @pccallout]

@thsottiaux what a crap dev day :) RIP CODEX

[pccallout @pccallout]

@theo old plans limits till 29/10/2026 after that nerf :(

[pccallout @pccallout]

@pradeepXkapoor bit longer = 29/10/2026
