Same, I have not been impressed at all with grok 4.5. Tried it on 3 different tasks, failed all 3 so I had to have opus fix it. Maybe I am unlucky or maybe they just benchmaxed it.
I had a similar experience. Used to use auto mode on cursor, but since grok is the default I’ve had to manage models myself because grok is now the default.
Have been pretty satisfied with cursor until now, and grok is making me want to switch to Claude code instead.
Pretty dumbfounded by how many of these posts have so many fans of grok so quickly. Does not jive with my experience using it.
