I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong, but Gemini 2.5 pro was substantially worse coding quality than Grok. Which is surprising since I’m working on a Golang codebase which I had assumed Gemini would excel at given that it’s made by Google

Grok is quickly becoming my favorite model just because it’s so verbose, but at the same time low on BS.

Yes, Grok has become my go to model for general research and targeted coding tasks. Feels like its getting better over time vs ChatGPT which seemed to deteriorate over time.

Claude 3.7 is excellent, and better at coding but I appreciate the context size of Grok and feel like I get better bang for my buck for general purpose research too.

Yeah. I’m finding Gemini to be very verbose. Getting better results with Claude Sonnet. But Gemini has the larger context window.
