Longgggg $ANT "Opus 5.5 is a masterpiece"
Not as good. Opus 5.5 is a masterpiece.
But Grok 5 should exceed Opus 5.5 and maybe that happens in 2 or 3 months, with continued acceleration thereafter.

Knew it! Called it Friday they downgraded the model that how amazing @AnthropicAI opus 5.5 is
Update #2 (after meeting with the @bot @SpaceXSI engineering team):
- Team is great. They care a ton. They owned it.
- They admitted that it was almost entirely from pulling Opus 5.5 out. Which is now back as of this AM.
- Learned a little bit about the context-compaction process with Grok 4.7-summarize which is not a public model. Plays a role in routing config and the summary we get back.
- Grok 5.0 should be insane next level (just as an aside point)
- I am somewhat surmising on why stuff went so poorly over the weekend but a lot of it has to do with not just pulling Opus 5.5 out but when they did that a known problem (and was on cursor as well) showed up which is when you switch the model mid task (which would’ve happened by removing our 5.5) it cannot remember the context and even of what it can gather its truncated (likely do to 4.7-summarize compacting). So in our case what likely happened was we had a lot of stuff mid flight that was likely pulling on opus 5.5 heavy, then it got pulled, routed to different model, forgot the context, and turned incredibly dumb. We laughed when I showed them a project that was mid flight in a doc. The first half of the doc was intelligently designed, formatted, etc. and the second half of the doc was a wall of seemingly incoherent, non formatted text. Again, I’m surmising but I think it was dumber model with all context removed
- I won’t say much here but Elons comment on it being “unsustainably high relative to revenue” was a much larger chess move. Won’t say much past that. Not my place. But he’s definitely playing a much larger chess match than just “Grok bot isn’t sustainable”.
- The problems we all experienced should be fixed and I do not think they want to go back to what they experienced over the weekend with the hit it took.
- They are very much focused on the enterprise use case for grok bot in the future
All in all, how’s this impact my decision making moving forward with the enterprise contract we have:
- Honestly still weighing the decision vs just using team plan. Working through some terms
- the reason to move forward is pretty simple. Unlimited users (so not paying per seat but for usage), access to forward deployed team and engineers for support and circumstances like I just experienced, very granular governing and guardrails for the org. That’s it
Impressed with the team overall and I think the main benefit to staying vs moving to open source (for a company like mine vs being a solo/small company) is trusting their ability to ship and keep building plus keep it maintained.
Shoutout to @ASankarraman for jumping in to help and to the @SpaceXSI, @bot, and @elonmusk teams

yup
They switched from Grok-4.7 to Opus-5.5 a few weeks ago.
They started losing too much money, so they rug pulled and nerfed the quota last week.
Then, people noticed their $300/m SuperGrok Heavy subscriptions were running out after 8 hours instead of lasting a full week, so now they've "restored" quota, but switched to some cheapo ChatGPT-6 model.
Cloud AI disappearing is inevitable. But the endless thrash for customers is immensely frustrating.

Any agency that
- has high payroll
- fancy office high rent / lease
- needs contracts
- quotes high to cover most of their expenses vs results
- uses overseas talent
- has employees that don’t use AI 🤖 for workflow
Is going to get run over by agencies that are AI first, use AI agents, month to month no contracts fair rates based on work, results, roi, no payroll, no commercial building leases ect
There will be 1-2-3 person 20 ai 🤖 agent agencies doing millions a month

Noticed the downgrade too
We were slated to sign for a mid 6-figure contract this week with @SpaceXSI to roll out @bot across the org.
That fell apart over the last few days with the severe drop in quality with no control over models and the comments on it being unsustainable.
Had a killer pilot with them but it died at the finish line.
Unlike the rest of X I’m not going to sit here and complain but it gave me a bit more insight into enterprise buyers (of which we sell to as well)
There is this massive uptick in what I’ll call buyer commitment reluctance.
Signing an annual or multi-year in a world where things are moving so fast is becoming brutally difficult to do.
Do I think @elonmusk will dial it in extremely fast? Of course. He’s the GOAT.
But for 3 days, when the quality became so undependable it forced us to go look at how we might be able to solve this in another way that doesn’t require the commitment of significant spend with the combination of no control over what models get used and on what.
Makes me consider how we might be positioning ourselves in our own sales process.
Still a huge fan. Will still use it with some key leaders on the team but the risk is just too high.

Bingo said this on Friday when we noticed it
Looks like Grok Bot stopped giving everyone Opus 5.5.
Since yesterday I noticed my bots were talking differently, and when I ran fingerprint tests they came back as gpt-6-astra/6.1-sol.
Not too surprising with the change though. Musk already said Grok Bot was costing way too much to run, so moving people off Opus to something cheaper was probably only a matter of time.
But what surprised me is that they went with OpenAI of all companies, guess they didn't have much choice

💯
Translated: We moved Grok Bot to cheaper model, and it now runs shitty. We will then make it run less shitty, and we will claim that as an improvement. Basically, it “sucks less” than yesterday.
Sounds just like how X has evolved since the beginning. Used to be great, then stumble after stumble as they screw with it.

Finally back to opus 5.5 vs google bard
Improvements to token efficiency & behavior in Grok Bot are underway
Many of you have built important workflows on @bot - we want to keep supporting you
Please reply with feedback on this post. I will read it all
Thank you sincerely for your support
