Notes -
Anyone else think that the new Grok 4.2 is a little underrated? People on twitter seem to be going 'it's bad'. I can see where they're coming from but it has some value add too.
The good: It can oneshot a couple of things where Opus 4.6 just burns through all its thinking tokens and dies. It codes in a much more restrained way too. 100 or 200 lines where Opus would make a huge extravaganza of code.
The bad: They didn't open it up to API and its no good for creative writing, pure STEMcel... The features surrounding the model are barebones, I can't seem to just copy in 10 files of context and have 4.2 edit them inline. We're back in the 'Below are the exact inline edits you can copy-paste' era and that's shit.
Interesting that they've chosen a different path with their '4 copies talking it out' approach, compared to everyone else and their 'big model go brr' approach.
