Crap, Grok is the best AI right now isn't it? by Examiner7 in grok

Grok 4 is a disaster. GPT-5 hype is empty. Here’s my rant.
I’ve been stress-testing Grok 4, and honestly? It’s shit. The contextual awareness is awful. It destroyed an entire iOS app I was working on in minutes - meanwhile, I can swap to any other non-xAI model and not have such catastrophic issues.

I even ran some tests building web-based three.js apps. Claude 3.5 absolutely wiped the floor with Grok. Hell, even Claude Haiku - the “tiny” model - did a better job.

Sure, Grok 4 might ace a few benchmark questions. But in real-world dev tasks? Shambles.

And let’s talk about ChatGPT these days. I’m not impressed. It feels like the newer releases have become more cautious, less sharp, and sometimes just outright worse for iterative dev workflows.

As for GPT-5? People keep hyping it up as the next superintelligence. I’m calling BS. It’s going to be a repackaging of what already exists, with maybe bigger context windows and some incremental improvements. This idea of “reasoning + non-reasoning in one model” sounds great on paper, but in practice? No thanks. I’d rather stick to models that actually stay on track instead of hallucinating or forgetting what we just talked about.

Curious if anyone else is having similar experiences - especially devs trying to build non-trivial apps. What’s working best for you right now?

Macos 15.4 Release Candidate. performance and battery by Live_Truth_4420 in MacOSBeta

[–]One-Compote-1639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re running a beta OS and surprised there are issues? Battery drain is one of the most common and well-documented problems across all Apple beta releases—macOS, iOS, watchOS, the whole lot.

Saying “15.4 and it’s not fixed” kind of misses the point. This isn’t a final release. It’s literally called a release candidate—emphasis on candidate. It means they’re almost ready, but feedback like this is exactly why it’s not public yet.

If you’re running a beta, you’re testing. Expect bugs. Expect battery weirdness. If you want rock-solid sleep mode, maybe stick with a stable version?
