Who is using grok code and why?

It was (is?) free with eg. opencode -- so, open-source coding agent + free sota model, it's hard to resist. That said, grok fast is fast, but not that great when compared to the other top tier models.

It's a 1.7 trillion token free model. Why wouldn't you try it?

I've been testing free models for coding hobby projects after I burnt through way too many expensive tokens on Replit and Claude. Grok wasn't great, kept getting into loops for me. I had better results using KAT coder on opencode (also free).

> Why wouldn't you try it?

Because the people behind it and myself having at least some standards

According to https://openrouter.ai/rankings, lots of people are using it - presumably because it performs well and provides value.

Kilo Code lets people use Grok Code Fast 1 for free, using OpenRouter as the provider. And Grok 4.1 Fast was completely free directly on OpenRouter for some time after its release.

So yeah, their statistics are inflated quite a bit, since most of that usage was not paid for, or at least not by the end user.

was that big

can you do a hosted demo with jslinux (or similar) as backend? https://bellard.org/jslinux/

Here's v86 running in your browser with ghostty-web: https://bow-wrinkle-13326.ondis.co/

You can also play around with a real shared containerized machine here: https://ghostty.ondis.co/

Will do this!

I’ll add this as an option to my fork of gotty, currently uses xterm.js

i think you are leaving lots of intelligence on the table by forbidding python to an LLM; trained heavily on python codebases.

I've mostly stopped using Claude because of it, it will still try use Python for the most random tasks. It recently wrote an HTML file with some inline js in it, then started a local python server to open the HTML file, and check the log output.

This is in a node.js project. It is just too obsessed with using Python, and it seems to help it focus and make more sensible choices by removing the option.

Is this a personal opinion, your opinion as a Google employee or Google's position on the matter?

Have you cleared this statement with comms/PR?

Do you want OP to 'get the fuck out' if they don't upskill or is this a general statement related to artists?

Reading it now. This is really useful.

I still play this with my friends. Yearly, we do it in person atleast once.

It seems Rebble has no moat here. The end devices are all controlled by Pebble which can point them to any store they want.

That must be making Rebble upset?

bit of a narrow focus point isn't it? this is a project that lives on despite the economics, throwing garden-wall-lingo in there feels a bit gross tbh

You mean Chromium wrapper?

Chromium? You mean OS wrapper?

OS? You mean HAL wrapper?

HAL? You mean hardware wrapper?

What's really missing here is the mode where you plug the iPhone into a monitor, connect keyboard and mouse, and suddenly it's a functional desktop-lite in the same way that a basic iPad now is.

Android has it and I love it!

What's missing is the mode where you plug it in and it's a full desktop running macOS.

Are you suggesting that the test for whether they should “allow” a feature is whether your mom can figure it out?

Why?
