xAI has launched Grok 4 Fast: an intelligent, fast version of Grok 4 with a 2-million-token context window. The model can search the web and follow links.
xAI claims that Grok 4 Fast is 47 times cheaper than standard Grok 4. In LMArena, Grok 4 Fast ranked alongside Grok 4 and Claude Opus 4.
Grok 4 Fast is now available to all users on grok.com and in apps. API access is also available.
Sounds amazing... why is it that no one seems to take Grok seriously in the development communities? Lacking API integrations? Even when Andrej or other big people tweet it's always discussing CGPT/Claude/Gemini...
I just compared a question I asked it versus self-hosted
InternVL-3.5-14B(#1194686) and it gave me an identical solution, even using the same tooling, but:Overall, not bad.
I tried Grok Code for a minimum viable product (MVP) project in a course, and I was blown away by how it generates and structures the code. 🚀 It's definitely a tool that delivers impressive results in real-world applications.
