My Thoughts on xAI Grok 3

Just wasted my 40 mins watching Grok 3 launch video. Below is what I posted on HN thread.

I don’t know, but I found the recording uninspiring. There was nothing new for me. We’ve all seen reasoning models by now—we know they work well for certain use cases. We’ve also seen “Deep Researchers,” so nothing new there either.

No matter what people say, they’re all just copying OpenAI. I’m not a huge fan of OpenAI, but I think they’re still the ones showing what can be done. Yes, xAI might have taken less time because of their huge cluster, but it’s not inspiring to me. Also, the dark room setup was depressing.
