grok is the best model right now if your not going to use it your missing sure elons character isn’t the best but we should take advantage of the very powerful model he gave us

Looks awesome. I’ll be definitely trying and using Grok-4 as a model in Cursor :slight_smile:

its good but in cursor it has been really lacking in terms of the model starting something then abruptly stopping mid task
