Plenty for coding - Sol, K3, new DeepSeek & Qwen, GLM 5.3, Grok 4.6, etc.

not for coding.

You're absolutely right. There are no other models out there for coding.

ah, i see -- you're one of those people

> There are no other models out there for coding.

that wasn't your claim.

your claim was:

> There are so many other better models right now.

wrt coding that is untrue.

Bro really said Grok

Bro!? I did. But I said 4.6 dude.

I like Grok 4.6 the model, I like it for a number of reasons. I like Grok Build too.

However, I've pointed Grok 4.6 at a fairly complex codebase and asked it to review/audit it for issues and it's come back with a whole laundry list of issues. I've passed that list to Kimi and Claude and they both were like "a couple of good catches but some of those are not issues at all". Grok 4.6 is noticeably weaker that Claude Fable 5, Claude Opus 5, Claude Opus 4.8, Kimi K3, GLM 5.3, … your suggestion to use Grok 4.6 instead of a recent Claude doesn't pass empirical scrutiny.
